android:layout_width="wrap_content" , gives you a rectangle for wrapped content rendering.
All will work well for normal text (non-italic).
Once you have italic text enabled, the wrapped text will try to fit into the rectangle and hence the rightmost character will be cut off unless its un-cut-able (such as ., ), 1, etc.)
Solution as suggested is to have a space at the end of the text (or anything better ??)
PS: This applies to android:gravity="right" too because the text will be pushed to the rightmost. If we have italic text, we face the same problem.
