Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. create a button and add FontFamily="Tahoma" and FontStyle="italic" and text string with the last letter being a "K" to better see the issue
2. create a label and text output using the same input as above but with a SPACE on the end of the text string
3. display inside browser to see the text cutoff at the right

Actual Results:
The last character of displayed text in many instances gets cutoff when using ITALICS

Expected Results:
Measurement should allow for a degree of padding on all sides of text for ITALICS

Workaround (if any):
In virtually all components, adding a space at the trail end of a text string fixes the issue, except for text labels on buttons which only respect spaces on the front of a text string but not at the end.
