Vertically aligning text in a field

[Geoff Canyon]

What requirement am I missing that this isn't sufficient -- and capable of
handling multiple fonts and font sizes throughout the text?

   get the formattedrect of line 1 to -1 of fld 1
   set the topmargin of fld 1 to (the height of fld 1 - item 4 of it + item
2 of it) div 2
