When creating a label with the Labeller or LabelPointReplacer, a labelpoint is made at the asked position. However, the label itself is always placed on the right above position from the labelpoint.
I need the label to be placed on the left above position from the labelpoint (thus having the point at the end of the labeltext instead of the beginning), in order to garentee a good label fit in the end result. How would this be possible?

Have you tried the Labeller instead? It gives a little more control over placement

After a some more research I found this: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/16546/text-justification.html
However, I am writing to PDF2D, which is not in the table. Any other options?

Perhaps @DaveAtSafe has a better idea?
There is always the MapTextLabeller plugin....handy tool but not free. Perhaps you can get a trial of it to see if it's worth the investment?

The most accurate way to get the bounds of a text feature is to use the TextStroker to convert it to an aggregate polygon, using the appropriate font, then get the bounds of the aggregate.
If the label is rotated, use the Rotator to rotate it to horizontal before stroking.
