How to set the Text's width in the same way we use to do with android:ems ?

[Dominaezzz]

fontSize = 5.em ?

Thanks @Dominaezzz. I didn't know em was a unit in Compose.

Are you suggesting me to try something like

Text("Hello", modifier = Modifier.width(5.em))

?

That won’t work, and think Compose does not support it because the string can have multiple fonts and sizes internally, so outside of the string measurement itself em doesn’t have much meaning.
