Actually that seems unlikely to be the reason:  if you look at the text,
the basic problem is that there are too many spaces -- even though Emacs
uses "half-width" (from a CJK perspective) spaces, they're _still_ too
wide.

I expect what really happened is that the original creator's editor
(well, probably "word processor") for some reason used a variable-width
font for space characters, so they had to add lots of thin spaces to
make everything line up.  Us Emacs users, viewing the same text with
"normal" spaces -- even half-width -- see the spaces portions as being
too wide.
