When I look at the file
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt>
in Emacs, I see some small misalignments, for example in the compound
brackets. See the screenshot here:

It's not a big deal, but I'm curious what causes this? When running
Emacs in a terminal (xterm or gnome-terminal), everything is well
aligned: <http://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/screenshots/xterm.png>

You need a fixed font, I think. Otherwise, you cannot expect
characters on different lines to align.

Unlike xterm, Emacs can mix and match different fonts at the same time,
which may not have the exact same metrics.
