How do I measure pixel width of a string of text? #104

Closed Tameflame closed 3 months ago

I want to implement text wrapping for my ui library and it requires measuring the dimensions of a string of text so I can compare it to the line width. Is there an example with this library to do so?

It would need to take into consideration emojis and kerning.
