Can not reproduce on Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US (ver 1709) with
Version: 5.4.3.1 (x64)
Build ID: 32c8895c6cae21571f364dbb059f419a743ee44d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: GL; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group


It would be a mistake to expect using a proportional font to maintain offset
from center line of column. To have centered results you must select a
monospaced font, e.g. Liberation Mono. 

The center line of each column is correctly calculated. Even or Odd length
strings will start at or split on the center line respectively. Space before
and space after are equal with mono spaced fonts.

Calculating positioning of a true center for each string of text would be
inefficient and is simply not needed for layout in a spread sheet.

The attached annotated clip compares centered column with Liberation Mono
(13pt) and Liberation Sans (13pt) text strings.
