I think the more advanced features of the display engine are generally
under-used. Maybe because there aren't as many users from the front-end
side of things.

Btw, I'm trying to implement variable width right/centered paragraph
alignment. Now that I think about it, I might also do justified text (with
varied width of spaces).

It's still in prototype stages, but the prognosis is good. And with
window-specific overlays, I can make if work even it the text is displayed
in multiple windows simultaneously
