Ignition software version = 4.6.5.  
Java version on client and server 7.51.  
Server = RedHat Enterprise Linux version 5.7.  
Client = Windows 7 x64.

In the Ignition Designer, for the Font component, is there a way to center, or right-align the text?

Select Object and go into -\>property editor -\> Layout -\> Horizontal Alignment and select allignment from the dropdown.

Hope this is helpful.

That is correct.

On a side note, some components can use HTML as well.
