Re: ConTeXt MKIV bug: Chinese left aligned does not work as should

["Yue Wang" <yuleopen@gmail.com>]

wikified in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chinese_Flush_Right

http://code.google.com/p/ctxnotes/

And I hope there is a perfect solution soon  (it is strange that LaTeX
left/right align works good).
