[Help] Fontstring alignment.

[Visneh]

I'm trying to create a new "custom" profession to play around with, much like the current blacksmithing one:



This is what I have so far:



Unfortunately, the problem I am currently having is that I am trying to produce an array of FontStrings, and use them to effectively act as the recipes and categories of the new profession. However, depending on their size, I can't seem to get them all to be left aligned, as in starting from the same place as they are all aligned in the center?

AddRecipe = function(name, req1, req2, req3, req4, type)
	if type == "CATAGORY" then
		
	elseif type == "RECIPE" then
		EBGUI_TOPLEFT.NUMBERTOCREATE2 = EBGUI_TOPRIGHT:CreateFontString()
		EBGUI_TOPLEFT.NUMBERTOCREATE2:SetPoint("LEFT", EBGUI_TOPLEFT, BaseTextPoint_X + NumberOfRecipes, BaseTextPoint_Y - (NumberOfRecipes * 15))
		EBGUI_TOPLEFT.NUMBERTOCREATE2:SetFontObject("GameFontWhite")
		EBGUI_TOPLEFT.NUMBERTOCREATE2:SetText(name)
		EBGUI_TOPLEFT.NUMBERTOCREATE2:SetSize(500,50)
		NumberOfRecipes = NumberOfRecipes + 1
	end
end

AddRecipe("Test1", 0, 0, 0, 0, "RECIPE")
AddRecipe("Test-2", 0, 0, 0, 0, "RECIPE")
AddRecipe("Test3.1415", 0, 0, 0, 0, "RECIPE")
AddRecipe("TEST THE FOURTH", 0, 0, 0, 0, "RECIPE")

Firstly, I'm fairly weak with XML, so a LUA example would definately be prefable! I'm wondering if there is any way to make the FontStrings left-aligned so they can be added much more easily!

Sorry for the bad english and thanks!

Have you tried:

FontString:SetJustifyH("LEFT")
FontString:SetJustifyV("TOP")

[Visneh]

I'm afraid it just makes the strings vanish!

edit: Google tells me to reference the FontInstance? What does that mean?

I've currently got:

EBGUI_TOPLEFT.NUMBERTOCREATE2:SetJustifyH("LEFT")
EBGUI_TOPLEFT.NUMBERTOCREATE2:SetJustifyV("TOP")

added into the code


FINAL EDIT: I got it working, you were right all along! Thank you so much!
