Formula Node Variable Name Centering

Status: New

Formula Node output variable names should be shifted right 1 pixel within their borders. Currently, the names are left-justified. Since each character is also left-justified (i.e. the white-space to separate them from adjacent text is on the right of each), input variable names have a 0-pixel left margin and 3-pixel right margin within their 1-pixel border. Since the output variable two-pixel borders grow inward to match the outer dimensions of input variables, the text pixel is cropped with excess on the right. This is problematic for the 1-pixel wide lower-case letter L which is cropped in half by the left border but still has a 2-pixel right margin. If shifted, names would be centered, cropping would not be as apparent, and the letter L would be distinct. The image below is enlarged 200% so the issue is more obvious (but the name is easier to read).
