Minimum limit for inter-word spacing

Post by iliafine »

Hi,

In my article, I want Latex never produced inter-word space less than the width of a small letter "m" in the current font. Is there a simple way to achieve that?

Thanks,
Ilia.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

With pdfLaTeX there might be a way using microtype and setting the tracking. With Xe- and LuaLaTeX fontspec's WordSpace option may be used.

A manual solution would involve changing \fontdimen2, \fontdimen3 and \fontdimen4.
