Is there any way to prevent letters from getting cut off? When I use a text aligmnet of distributed with italics text the letter at the end of the text box is clipped on the side. If you make the text box bigger, the letters just spread out more. I could give each letter its own text box, but that's a lot of extra work. I like to use the distributed text for titles and headings.
 
I was going to suggest just putting a space at the end, but tried it and it didn't work. I tried others like chr(13), chr(10) but nothing seems to work (it 'works' but shows a square which represents the line feed/carriage return). If I put a period or other character it works fine, but you then see the character, which is dumb.

So in the end, since in italix the top-right portion of the last character is cut off, I put an apostrophe and although theoretically it displays, in italix it's cut off and the original word looks fine. Try that.

Funny.

centering the text will also work

Yes I understand Ginger but centering italic text will also solve the same problem.

But then it won't be 'distributed'. It can't be both centered and distributed at the same time.
