Is it possible to specify that a text should use the condensed style, similar to how you might specify its font-weight; or do I need to specify a completely different TextStyle which points to the condensed variant?

`sans-serif-condensed` is a different font family. Using a custom system font family isn't possible using public API now (<https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/178955821|issue>). If you are ok with using internal API, you can use:
```@Suppress("INVISIBLE_MEMBER")
GenericFontFamily("sans-serif-condensed")```

Id like to use a custom font familys condensed variant, to make things worse :blob-sweat-smile:

You mean your own font? That is actually much easier, as you can just create another font family.

Yeah, Im using OpenSans. I guess Ill need to create a separate FontFamily with the condensed variant, and specify it either in a TextStyle, or directly in the fontFamily parameter in Text?

Gotcha :+1::skin-tone-4: Thank you. Its not perfect, but Ill take it!

Well this is how font works on all platforms. Fonts in a family only differ in font weights and styles(normal/italic/oblique). Width is not one of these.

I wasnt aware of that, thinking about it though - thats what youre doing in XML as well, I just never thought about it that way.
