TChart.Title not rendering correct when using HTML

There seem to be some problems with TChart - Title when using HTML as text format:

I used "<b>Header</b><small>(Details)</small>Test" (without the quotes) and a font size of 13 to get
s1.PNG
s1.PNG (7.51 KiB) Viewed 7061 times
1. The Header isn't centered in a correct way (centering seems to be based on the plain html-string)
2. The closing </small> - Tag is not recogniced
3. "Test" (and "</small>") is placed with a wrong baseline

By experimenting I found, that removing the "/" from the closing </small> tag has another effect:
s2.PNG
s2.PNG (5.98 KiB) Viewed 7063 times
It seems, as the </small> - tag is ignored the next string is drawn even smaller BUT also the baseline moves down (as if <sub></sub> where used).

Note: I do only need the first 2 parts "<b>Header</b><small>(Details)</small>", the "Test" string was just added when experimenting with the HTML expression.

Hello,

I could reproduce the problem so I've added it to the public tracker:
http://bugs.teechart.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1528

I could also fix it. However, I'm afraid it couldn't be included in the maintenance release we've just published.

However, as you own the source code, you can apply the fix to your sources and recompile the packages with TeeRecompile.
Here the git patch from the commit, affecting only TeeHtml.pas (in your "Sources" folder):
