Hello. Can the text in a wnd be aligned (i.e.: left, right, centered) as well as vertical alignment, and if so, how?

Pleas see the functions provided: there are no special controls/options for alignment. It is up to you to do this in the strings you provide, i.e. for right alignment use a fixed space font (WND_COURIER) and pad left with spaces.
No such thing as vertical alignment - you need to write the text at the position/line needed.

Note that there was also a bug ion the font selection in the wnd library that may affect FSUIPC4. This was fixed in FSUIPC7/6 but FSUIPC4 is closed for further development.

Hello. Thank you for your reply. I've been "padding" with spaces. I was just wondering if there was a better way to align. I don't know what you mean by "a bug in the font selection in the wnd library that may affect FSUIPC4." Perhaps I have been fortunate so far as I have not run into any bugs - that I have noticed. I've attached a picture of how I've been able to use WideClient and a touchscreen monitor.

No, thats the only way.

There was an issue in selecting the font / font attributes in the Wnd library that was found in FSUIPC7 that prevented the selected font from being used. I am not sure if this affects FSUIPC4 or not.
