Actually, that was lousy advice. I would never suggest that someone switch to a product of the Evil Empire. As a stompy, I try to fix long hyphenations when I see 'em, and I know that others do so as well. So if you see one, let us know!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It's browser dependent, Sue. Try IE.
What if we don't want to use IE? I'm with Sue. It's a colossal pain in the ass when you're trying to catch up.
edit: saw Jon's subsequent post, calming down now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Try IE is crapass advice.
Try Opera.

I like Mozilla. What I'd really like is for people to break up their own frelling-extended-forever-hyphenations, but that seems unlikely. t /cranky

Random comment cause I noticed earlier:
Threadsucked, and then hit print, and it printed...and the whitefont was printed too! (In grey). Just something people might want to be aware of. (It was natter, so it wasn't spoily to me, but...)

It may be that I'm using an outmoded version of IE at work, but several pages today did the ultra-wide from multiple hyphens thing. The evil empire isn't necessarily a cure-all for the problem anyway.

There might be an option in your browser to handle proper printing of Whitefont. Try using IE Kidding! I use Mozilla myself.never gonna live down that post

I know PMM, but they're such an easy target!
