Did you get my discovery about anchor + width?

     Actually, it turns out to be my mistake at not clearly reading the
documentation he has for the
     justify option. Justify is for multiple lines of text, anchor will
anchor the text. Try with width=30,
     anchor=W and you should see what you're looking for.
