While others may find the answer for you, keep in mind that full 
justification of content on web pages is a bad idea. It goes against basic 
readability in the first place and attempting to apply it to web content 
will make it worse.

If you really feel the need to go up against human physiological reactions 
with justified text to meet alleged client needs, or just to make the 
content "pretty," I suggest you run a few tests with disinterested third 
parties.  I would be surprised if it was accepted in your tests.
