An odd number of 'picas' only needs one tiny pica to make it an even number. On a proportional typewriter, that one pica can be easily placed unnoticeably between two words. Old repro typists knew which letters were better at masking such practices. People don't even notice now, but the only way that any text is right-hand justified is by adding or subtracting spaces between words.

but the only way that any text is right-hand justified is by adding or subtracting spaces between words. I used to use a macro-based word processor that could add spaces between letters (down to a thousandth of an inch) in addition to spaces between words. It also allowed decimal increments in font size. I wrote a macro that would produce a screen image and allow you to size it with a single parameter, fractionally adjusting all the included text sizes.
