@klim there is! but it's a hack that just adds lines at the end of text boxes and turns text wrapping on for the text box:

@w__h_ Well well! How do the Swiss nerds actually do it? By hand? Some poor intern?

@w__h_ @klim Both look too artificial to me. I’ve seen a Taiwanese book designer do Swiss ragged text in front of me by hand. And heard a German typography student say: “the question is, do I want to invest 7+ hours into ragging the text.” I guess, it’s like with kerning and hinting, if you give a 💩 about quality, you will have to do it by hand.
