This is more or less what I would like, but I would also like to probe the Text to see how many characters it thinks it can display within the container window. I am formatting text dynamically and so I rely on the width. I am not after the built in "wrap" option, it does not do what I want. But, say if wrap were turned on, it would be good to know how many characters the Text would wrap at.
