Half-stars display wrong when vote is centered

Hello,

I display the average vote in a column of a table. It worked fine when the column was left-justified. But when that column is centered, the half-star portion of the vote comes out screwed up visually (the red part does not match up with the gray part horizontally).

Here's the relevant style info for the relevant table cell:

td.view-field-votingapi-cache-value { text-align: center; }

I need the column centered for when there are no votes and text is returned for that column (thanks to the patch provided for permitting rows to show up even when there are no votes -- Item #7 at http://drupal.org/node/63430 -- it returns the string "no votes", which I changed to "(no votes yet)"). The text looks wrong unless centered, but centering the cell causes the above-described problems with the stars.

Thanks!
