Enable snapping Snap other points Snap text anchors Snap guides

Now you can snap the text to the guide, which is precisely the x value that you want.

Let us know how it goes.

It went really well :) For the record, snapping text anchors is not available prior to version 0.91.

Thanks for the explanation how snapping is done!
