Interaction of Pango Wrapping and Alignment

[John Boncek]

pango_layout_set_alignment with either PANGO_ALIGN_CENTER or PANGO_ALIGN_RIGHT apparently has no effect when wrapping is turned off.  I have been unable to find any statement in the documentation or mailing list about this, or with extensive use of Google.  Perhaps this was a design choice reflected in the use of pango_layout_set_width to -1 as the way to turn off wrapping?

Works here:

$ pango-view --align center --text $'testttt\ning'

Gives me something that looks like this:

I just showed that it works in a small test program (and should have done that before posting, sorry), so there must be something else going wrong in the application.  We've knocked our heads on this one for a long time.  Thanks.
