Text Formatting ⇒ How to Adjust the Flavor of Line Breaking

[share207]

Hi, everyone:
I have a question on line breaking. The dvi output of my .tex file seems having poor line breaking, which usually leaves one or two words into the next new line rather than squeezing them into the last line. This .tex file is compiled with pdfTex. But when i use another computer that uses pdfTexk to compile, line breaking performs much better, and the total length of article is reduced by a whole page. I know that pdfTexk is an extension to pdfTex. But how do i know which extension it used and how does it achieves a better line breaking?
Is there anyone having some ideas about such problem ? Thanks a lot !!

Hi share207,

welcome to the board!
You could use the microtype package to improve the justification. For an example have a look at Full Justification: pdfLaTeX vs. LaTeX.
