Sometimes I want the `Text` to have the ellipsis at the front.
My use case is showing a file path, where the end is more important than the beginning.

The Text does not have a parameter for that and this default config will have the ellipsis at the end.
```Text(
    text = text,
    maxLines = 1,
    overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis
)```
My font is Roboto. Monospace would make this easy as I could cut after a certain amount of characters.
But this is not possible here.

I would like to measure the font size and determine which part fits into the width or somehow.

Did someone find a solution for this?

In the new compose 1.8.0 - alpha(I guess), it supports ellipsis with start, end and middle.

So great! Thanks for letting me know :slightly_smiling_face:
