Yes. I seem this word wrapping algorithm is a simple one (it may be
the same as 'fill-region'), which is shown at the Wikipedia. To fill
out the narrow space efficiently, I think hyphenation is needed.
I will continue to search the better algorithm.

I think the current look needs to improve in the case of many

Many schedule items, like Japanese TV programs guides...

I'm going to try some improvement, such as inserting a horizontal
line, applying different face on the first lines and shading like gnus
group buffer.

I will inform here again.
