	/**
	 *  Defines values for setting the <code>justificationRule</code> property
	 *  of the TextLayoutFormat class. Default value is SPACE, which accomplishes justification by adding 
	 *  extra space to the space characters. When you use EAST_ASIAN, Japanese style leading is employed, which 
	 *  applies bottom-down as opposed to top-up, which is used in Roman text. The spacing of punctuation is also 
	 *  different. In the Roman version, the comma and Japanese periods take a full character's width but only half 
	 *  in East Asian. Additionally, the spacing between sequential punctuation marks becomes tighter, obeying traditional 
	 *  East Asian typographic conventions. Also note the leading, applied to the second line of the paragraphs in the 
	 *  example below. In the East Asian version, the last two lines push left. In the Roman version, the second and 
	 *  following lines push left.
