Yes. You need to install Wordaxe from http://deco-cow.sf.net and  maybe an 
hyphenator, depending on you language.

You can see it doing justification and hyphenation (as well as TTF font 
embedding) here:

You can see a hyphen in the 5th line from the bottom.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. 
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, 
by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
