Yes, this does indeed break alignment in such cases. I would suggest, though, that the "breakage" is pretty insignificant. The amount of letter-spacing used in the main text of that HK gov site seems quite unusual to me; I rarely see so much spacing applied to blocks of body text. Yet in my opinion, the result still looks perfectly acceptable:  It's true that the main text is not perfectly left-aligned with the header, but I suspect most users won't even notice this. I think this is a reasonable price to pay for getting more consistent behavior in right-aligned or centered content, bidi cases, etc. (Incidentally, that page also includes an example of how symmetrical letter-spacing visibly improves results: with left-aligned letter-spacing, the caption under the photograph appears misaligned:  whereas with symmetrical spacing, we get:  which looks better balanced.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by jfkthame Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10193#issuecomment-2058798278 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
