ZPL How to center text with variable length

I use Zebra Designer to create my labels. But I have a problem to center my elements.

Indeed when I create a text box with Zebra Designer, it has a fixed length and when I replace the text inside (by a variable Php giving me the price for example) ==> if this text is larger than this that I have defined it does not focus.

So I would like to create a text box the width of the label and where the text would be centered inside, regardless of its length

Download the ttf font for your barcode to the printer, using the Zebra printer utilities. Print the barcode in a centered text box using the barcode font.

The following online utility is helpful: http://labelary.com/viewer.html

Zebra article on using external fonts: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/knowledge-articles/ait/downloading-and-using-fonts-on-zebra-zpl-printers.html

Use the Field Block ^FB Command; Parameter D is the justification, here set to C for center
