Gargoyle is intended to care about typography, that is to render the IF in a way most comfortable for reading. Features include specially chosen fonts, kerning, ligatures, text justification and many others. The options can be finetuned in the simple text file 'garglk.ini', for example using the Notepad. For example the text justification can be turned on by changing the line containing
justify 0 # 0=ragged-right 1=justified
to
justify 1 # 0=ragged-right 1=justified
