K&P needs tolerance parameter to work, especially with fixed width font #17

Closed npillmayer closed 4 years ago

Without stretch and shrink, there is no way K&P can trim a paragraph's text to fit.

Additionally: Add leftskip & rightskip glue. This would at least allow fixed with text to fit in a ragged-right (or centered) fashion.

K&P will not produce over-/underfull boxes when necessary. Left-/RightSkip are in place, but not tested enough. Nevertheless, tolerance settings and demerits calculations seem to work OK. The princess-paragraph can be broken correctly.
