Centered BitmapText is rendered blurry

Class 'BitmapText' renders centered (Align.Center) texts blurry in GUI.

Code to reproduce:

    @Override
    public void simpleInitApp()
    {
        BitmapFont font = getAssetManager().loadFont("Interface/Fonts/Console.fnt");
        BitmapText text = font.createLabel("This is a centered test text that does not look nice");
        text.setBox(new Rectangle(250, 240, 110, 100));
        text.setAlignment(Align.Center);

        getGuiNode().attachChild(text);
    }

Run the provided BitmapText reproduction with the centered Align.Center setting and compare the rendered text with the linked examples. Trace the BitmapText GUI layout and rendering path to identify why centered text becomes blurry; done means centered text renders sharply while preserving the requested alignment.
