If you're willing to try out the SuperPatch, then your problems are solved.

This is what you would write to center the text:

#declare String = text {ttf "yourfont.ttf", "yourstring", 2, 0}

object {String rotate whatever translate
-(min_extent(String)+max_extent(String))/2}

//or using my center() macro

#macro center(obj)
 translate -(min_extent(obj)+max_extent(obj))/2
#end

#declare String = ...

object {String rotate whatever center(String)}

It's just that simple. Go out and get that patch today!
