I was thinking of something much simpler, just as a work-around. 
Something like this:

  put (the height of btn 1 - the textheight of btn 1) div 2 into tMargin
  set the margins of btn 1 to 0,tMargin,0,tMargin

No bells and whistles though, it just mashes the name into the center. 
The math may need some jiggl...um, adjustments.

Yours is much prettier. Everything you do is much prettier.
