I have a scene concept involving centred text, and I want to try it with
many different fonts (using a Python program to write the .pov files).
Is there a way to center text without measuring its width by eye, every
time? Perhaps a function that returns the dimensions of a bounding box?

Not exactly, but the functions min_extent(MyObj) and max_extent(MyObj)
do indeed return the "lowest" and "highest" corner, respectively, of the
bounding box, so the following line should do the job:
#local Width = (max_extent(MyTextObj)-min_extent(MyTextObj)).x;

Thank you, that works perfectly.

Note you can also just write out an array of font names you want to
try and setup a pov script to render all images as an animation. Might
be more convenient, especially when changing the pov code later.
