It looks like you're using a proportional font so the calculated widths are wrong.   Try turning 
on Text on Black and I bet the area between the time and the symbol is a big black area.  
The old code had it wrong too but because of the fixed offsets it wasn't as noticable.

Is this a show stopper for you?   Or am I going to have to work on figuring out how to calculate 
the whole text width.
