Does not take letter-spacing or word-spacing into account

[arasmussen]

If there's any letter-spacing / word-spacing set on the text, react-truncate will not calculate properly, and it'll render more than this.props.lines lines.

Looks like you can set letter-spacing / word-spacing on the canvas itself https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8952909/letter-spacing-in-canvas-element

Note that the canvas MUST be added to the DOM in order for Chrome to take into account word/letter spacing in its calculations. Probably fine to just add a hidden element somewhere and use it repeatedly.

Duplicate of #59.

Further context: #30 (comment).

If you want to support that in your codebase, I suggest monkey-patching Truncate.prototype.measureWidth
