A colleague is asking me how to center a variable length text field on a form using font 5707. It's an office name and varies during the print run.

I've done this years ago with HP fonts by building a width table and using absolute positioning with PCL.

I've not used AFP much except for drawing forms. How do you deal with variable or relative text postioning this using AFP and proportional fonts?

Thanks.
