I still cannot decide. In the end legibility should be more important, so ragged right is better like you said.
Sure, I wanted to say: "it would not break the overall design at all" :)

Wikipedia says "Optima's capitals (like Palatino's) are directly derived from the classic Roman monumental capital model [...]". I think, it does look good together. We also wanted a TeX Gyre font as main font, so that it is available on every system.
Of course a good choice, but I meant something different. When I have a
look at the Properties of the document in the Adobe Reader or just list
the fonts with "pdffonts" command on linux, then Optima-Regular is
listed 141 times. Figure labels use sans serif, so I'm wondering why so
many times the font is included.
