I think only with appropriate hyphenation you can use justified text on webpages, especially in languages as German. Missing hyphenation sometimes results in catastrophic word spaces. More information about hyphenation and an English test paragraph on http://blog.fontdeck.com/post/9037028497/hyphens (doesn’t work in my Canonical build).

Meanwhile I found another hyphenation test page for English → http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/css3/show.php?p=hyphens – the third paragraph should be hyphenated. But there both my friends Windows Firefox 8.0 and my own one fail.

Maybe this is because on Eric Meyers page there are no vendor prefixes like moz-hyphens? Does Canonical’s FF support them? If not, my problem is for now insolvable.
