Summary: Remove full justification from display styles

Initial Comment:
Today I have installed Bibletime 1.6.5.1 on an Eee PC with Debian Lenny.

I have noticed that all display styles (except simple) have full justification. On small screens this looks very ugly -- partilcularly when you have two bible versions in two columns. You have many lines with large holes. IMHO, you can't apply full justification without hyphenation in languages with very long words (such as German).

My suggestion therefore is to offer more display styles without full justification, e.g. a version of the standard style (which otherwise looks very nice) without full justification.

I'm the display style pumpkin holder. Someone assign this to me (I can't
for some reason) and I can look at this and make changes needed.

Message:
Personally I think that display styles need rewriting. With the new 1.7
series some styles look bad. The looks may change further with WebKit. We
should research possibilities for changing styles easily. This is not an
immediate task because we have too much work with other aspects of 1.7 (and
onwards).
