Re: Pango alignment versus wrapping

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjellahlstedt gmail com>]

In the description of Pango::Alignment at 
https://developer.gnome.org/pangomm/2.38/group__pangommEnums.html#gaf6b8926663368e305380e01f8858caca 
I found this:

If the Pango::Layout is set to justify using 
Pango::Layout::set_justify(), this only has effect for partial lines.

The description of PangoAlignment in pango (i.e. not pangomm) has a 
similar sentence. Don't know if it applies to your code, or if it's a 
feature or a bug.
