Yes, but you have to be carefull with the right margin. There is a small
problem. Fortunately, it can be very easely solved:
If you add a small space after each character with .tkf, the space will
be counted as a part of the character by the justification algorithm.
Just use .ll +[what you add with .tkf] to fix it.

much can be done with macros. If I had time...
