description typography

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I would like an option to disable the "justified" mode and use normal left aligned mode instead. I find the description text very hard to read (As DF has no hyphenation support).
The justified mode seems also to be bugged, as the 2nd sentence in the above image should be one line only.

I'm going to guess that the way he's displaying the text he has it set to display "He is "+dwarf.getage()+" years old," and whatever method is being called is returning " seventy-four ", so you end up with a double space. That should hopefully be an easy bug to fix.

As for your suggestion, that seems really easy to read for me. But maybe I'm just weird.

As a graphic designer, I agree that left aligned is the way to go. At least an option would be nice.
