: How can I perfectly justify text in Gimp 2? How can I perfectly justify text in GIMP 2. I tried but the result is this. Thank you

Instead of manual kerning, which does look nice if done well (-- but I fear your gaps are too wide --), you could try hyphenate some of the words. This text does not appear to aim at children, so it is probably appropriate for your readers to read hyphenated words.

If you are unsure about hyphenation rules in English, use one of the many free tools available or check a good dictionary. One possibility: www.hyphenation24.com/
Also think about hanging punctuation, once you have some dashes at the right side... :-)

Kerning each line produces excellent results. When you make the text layer active, the box above the text where you specify the font has two numbers on the lower right to change the text baseline and kerning. Separately for each line, select the line and adjust the kerning so that all of the lines have the exact same length. This gives it the look of old-fashioned typesetting - much better than a "justify" function which simply spreads the words out.

I think it is justified correctly. The problem is that you have lengthy words and a narrow text box. It's already putting as many words as it can fit on each line.
