    Yes, of course... Though, the text object enhancements seem the better
way to do it - keep the text alignment as a property of the text object...
It seems a little like removing light sources just because it's possible to
simulate what they do with high ambient objects and radiosity (that is, of
course, an extreme example, but do you see what I mean ?)... Not that it
really matters... I'll shut up now...
