;~) I was not even considering fence alignment being out of square. Even
a perfectly set up jointer will give you less than perfect results with non
parallel edges if you joint both edges of the board.

Granted, I prefer to rip the joints on the table saw. BUT, joint with the
opposite face against the fence of each succeeding board and you'll cancel
out any error in your jointer fence alignment.

Some people do that but you can never be sure of the out come that
results.
If you joint every cut edge you cannot ever be sure to have boards with
the
"exact" width that they should be and most likely the edges of the
boards
will not be parallel.
