I figured there were changes, and CS4 doesn't seem to have the issue. My client's working in CS3, though...

paragraphs.length == lines.length == 2

paragraph[ 0 ] ends with a return, paragraph[ 1 ] does not (nothing follows it).

Here's the workaround:

I was able to get correct measurements of right-aligned text using:

line[0].insertionPoints[ 0 ].horizontalOffset;

So I set the text to right aligned, make the measurements and calculations necessary to indent the text. Then I left-align all the lines, and set the left indents. Works like a charm, even if it's a serious kludge...
