How Meta Are They?

I'd like to devote this post about Lord of Chaos, Robert Jordan's sixth entry in the Wheel of Time series, to a phenomenon that appears throughout the book but has thus far been previously unremarked upon by me. I don't know if this is something you all have run across in other books, fantasy or otherwise, but throughout Jordan's novels, something funny is going on with the text itself. Not the writing, the literal printing. Often, single letters will be slightly misaligned, so the "T" that starts "the" will float a little above the "h". In more extreme cases, words will appear to be falling into the line below them, and in some cases, are totally absent from the space they belong on, only to turn up sideways jammed into the margin two paragraphs later. Its very strange. These were bestselling novels that each had many many printings...and as any sci-fi/fantasy reader knows, Tor is no small press. So its not like they suffer from low-budget workmanship. I've literally never seen the same thing in any other book, but it happens throughout the series. Its only on this third pass that it occurs to me...the Dark One (the embodiment of all things evil and the Lucifer proxy in this world) tells his minions in this novel to "Let the Lord of Chaos rule". Perhaps Tor et al are doing his work for him?
