Hi,

you have a single block of text and the block
if lines is not broken into single lines.
If you wish to justify every line you have to
break the string into it's lines and

Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 2},
  Epilog -> (MapIndexed[
        Text[#1, {1, 3 - 0.25First[#2]}, {0, 0}] &, {"pure", "gain", 
          "guiding"}])]

may work.

Regards
  Jens
