This is one of those things I remember having an exercise in a programming class a million years ago. With a fixed-width font, you can write the code to justify. The algorithm is something like:

- determine # of chars you want per line
- break your string up into substrings of no more than that width, that is, lines
- for each line, find the word breaks and add spaces to them until the line is exactly the right width

The third step is the challenging one because you want to distribute the extra blanks in a way that's pleasing to the eye.
