James, the second image exposes exactly the problem that an alignment parameter would solve: "TR" and "1/2pi" could be drawn aligned "baseline right" to the references point on the y-axis. "0.97" and "pi" could be drawn aligned "top center" to the reference points on the x-axis. The badly rendered example image looks like single characters are placed at fixed positions out of context. Of course, this will lead to problems not only when the fonts are substituted, but also for the slight differences in font sizes...
