I'd like to insert enough spaces between two strings to make a caption for a 
titlebar show the pieces justified left and right. For example, program name on the 
left and copyright notice on the right.

Answer:

The DrawText API function supports drawing justified text. Below is an example:

1   { ... }
2   var
3     R: TRect;
4     fmt: UINT;
5   begin
6     R := ClientRect; {define your rectangle to draw the text}
7     with Canvas do {canvas to paint on}
8     begin
9       fmt := DT_LEFT;
10      DrawText(Handle, PChar(LeftSide), Length(LeftSide), R, fmt);
11      fmt := DT_RIGHT;
12      DrawText(Handle, PChar(RightSide), Length(RightSide), R, fmt);
13    end;
14  end;
