Any way to stop custom linetype text from shifting based on direction?

[EBDBC3D]

Here's what it's doing:

Here's the code:

*FENCE_FF,Circled FF --X--(FF)--X--(FF)--X--(FF)--X--(FF)--
A,.13,-.09,["X",LINETYPE,s=1.8,r=0,x=-.03,y=-0.055],-.09,.26,[CIRC1,ltypeshp.shx,S=.15,X=0],0,["FF",STANDARD,S=.1,X=-0.08,Y=-.046,U=0],-.3,.13

Just a thought [untested] -- split the pen-up part around the "FF" the way you do around the "X":

....,S=.15,X=0],-.15,["FF",STANDARD,S=.1,X=-0.08,Y=-.046,U=0],-.15,.13

I'm curious as to why the two text elements use different Styles, and if STANDARD used for the "FF" has a fixed height, that could be part of the problem.

I played around with the X-offset for FF and got the attached result that looks correct.  Not sure if it has something to do with text justification, or the style being used, etc.  I setup a generic style to test it.

*FENCE_FF,Circled FF --X--(FF)--X--(FF)--X--(FF)--X--(FF)--
A,.13,-.09,["X",LINETYPE,s=.1,r=0,x=-.045,y=-0.055],-.09,.26,[CIRC1,ltypeshp.shx,S=.15,X=0],0,["FF",STANDARD,S=.1,X=0.065,Y=-.046,U=0],-.3,.13

That worked, thanks!
