[SOLVED] Rotated text keeps moving!

...Maybe that's not a GREAT subject line.

Anyway! I'm trying to add text to a screen that 1) is rotated -9 degrees, and 2) includes a variable that users can modify.

My code looks like this:

Code: Select all

    transform:
        rotate -9
        text "{size=-11}{color=04297a}{font=fonts/LinLibertine_R.ttf}1st Bank of [persistent.town] - {/size}{size=+1}10108{/size}{/font}{/color}"
        pos (1485, 925)
        anchor (0.5, 0.5)

When the user types in a shorter name (say, LA), it looks like this (we're looking at the text on the pen):



When the user types in a longer name (say, New York City):



Notice how the x-position of the text changes from image to image. Ideally, it would stay in one consistent, predictable place.

I added the anchor code because I read in a different forum thread that that would fix it, but that doesn't seem to have been the case for me. Any ideas?

I do not see the problem. The text is rotated around anchor point. I checked and it seems to be in the same position in both screenshots.

Ah, so that's what the .5 means! It's essentially center-aligning the text.

So, I changed the .5 to 0, and now it's doing what I want it to! Thanks!
