Re: Word-wrap/hyphenation with very large font size not working consistently

[Pavneet Arora <pavneet_arora@waroc.com>]

Thanks Wolfgang,

I see that the main change was align=broad as an option to \framed. Could you 
tell me what that does, or point me to where it is described?  I see broad 
described in terms of width and height but not align under the description for 
framed.

Thanks.

The trouble I am having is getting lines to break consistently. Sometimes they do, but as in this case the second word `through' continues beyond the frame width.  You may also try to substitute the text ``Enter this way today'', another contrived example to see the effect.  The symbol font that I am using is Symbol-Signs from:
