I ran across this justified document that is using the common Calibri font. However, our justification (as of 25.8 master) doesn't match the output I got from MS Word 2019. The smart justify seemed to get worse results starting in 24.2.7.2.

During my bibisect, I focused on page 3, point 8.3's "Once the required information is entered in the register, click the Create TDN button (see Figure 2)."

In MS Word 2010/2019 it ends with the single word "2)." in a line on its own - but in LO it all fits on one line.

I was able to bibisect this on my Linux machine, even though I don't have the Calibri font installed.

In my PDF comparison, both MS Word 2019 and LO bibisect were running on the same windows machine, so both used the identical Calibri font version.

Marking as low priority, since this is mainly just submitted for information and not really as a concerned bug report.
