Yes, after having read the entire text, I see his entire thrust is that text, that is characters, need not be pixel-aligned. For a great many applications this type of layout seems superior, although I cannot help but feel the surrounding text provided by my browser is easier to read than any of his examples, though they may be more elegant.

In essence I think crappy pixel aligned text still has its place (such as in this edit box into which I am typing), but when the goal is to have any sort of font and page-layout fidelity, I'm convinced of his arguments.
