Thank you! I dont understand this command, what does "1ex plus 1ex minus 
.2ex " excactly mean? Does it mean the consecutive distance is element 
of the interval [0,8ex;2ex] or what?

I am asking for the example :) Or what do you mean. Your example above is exactly, what I was
searching for. Only the syntax have to be understood.

It's the inter-word glue, which is usually a property of the font
and is usually not altered by the user. However, \spaceskip is used
for e.g. ragged text and special alignments.

Read up about glue in your favourite TeX reference. \spaceskip is
covered in TeX by Topic¹, chapter 20. The first value is the
“natural” size. If necessary it can stretch or shrink by the given
amount which can be zero.

You said it doesn't justify after I sent you a minimal example which
was justified. That's what I was talking about.

Minimal word-distance?

["H. Özoguz"]

Beyond the possibility to influence the tolerance by \setuptolerance, is 
it possible to declare explicit the minimal allowed word-distance? I 
ask, because in some cases the distance between consecutive words is too 
low (already using \setuptolerance[verstrict]).

Thanks.
