Hi Geoff, both code versions were intended for fixedLineHeight text. But now you mention it I will try to adjust the code for variable lineHeight and varying fonts.
Since am currently doing "cantuccini" (sort of italian cookies) I will try it a little later. I think the solution is not to rely on the textHeight but to calculate from the formattedHeight / 2 in code version 2. Put that into the offset. I have not tried it though yet.
