I don't think this is the correct solution, because it makes printing
have different linebreaks than screen. We need to do the layout with
layout units on layout fonts. But this breaks things. I think that the
solution is to split runs when the divergence of the layout font width
and the screen font width is too much. I'll try to look into this on
the weekend.
