How exactly are you going to know the amount of spaces to add between words if
you actually do not have the font metrics information ? That is why the font
type and size, i.e. your fonts settings, and the justified text shown on the
page are related to one another.

At least that is what I meant. This has to be a distribution specific issue. I
cannot reproduce the problem with any of the test cases you provided so far.

Well I most definitely do not know what to tell you here. I have no idea what
SUSE is doing, but with the stock KDE and QtWebKit, which is what I am using I
cannot reproduce the issue.
