Who ever said that aligning things, especially text, on a page was easy? Just look at what Donald Knuth had to invent to solve this problem!


Correct. The article does a bit of a bait-and-switch by showing that centering a rectangle within another rectangle is mathematically trivial, and then going on to complain about misaligned stuff that is mainly "irregular shaped text (which can change based on translation, etc) within box with curved corners".
