No. Most of the text is aligned. Only one line on some pages is not aligned. It works surprisingly well.

what uses is this font designed for ? professional printers offer 300dpi ; it's the industry standard. i have never had a reason to look for higher, so i don't know if it's even available, but i really cannot imagine a case where 300dpi would not be good enough, with the exception of printing the "invisible (or at least illegible) to the naked eye" serial numbers or names which are sometimes used for authentification or security purposes (i read about it somewhere). seriously, 1/300 of one inch is so minuscule as to be effectively invisible, by itself. you can print photographs at 300dpi and they are almost indistinguishable from an argentic film print.

It was designed when things was printed using photo typesetter and they had at least 1200 dpi. A book now aday is printed with higher resolution than 300dpi (or lpi might be more correct). Photographs does not requires so much resolution to get a good result. A text needs more.
