Text in linetypes

[jasongrieve]

Good Day,

I am creating a custom linetype for my company. I am using a symbol (U+25CF:Black Circle) in a text format.

The circle needs to fit exactly between two lines. When I modify the offset of the circle to center correctly on a straight line (Red Circle) it is not centered correctly around a arc (Blue Circle), and when I fix it around the arc it does not center correctly on the straight line.

I am unable to set the text justification to the center of the symbol circle, any advise or help please ?
