Comment(by IwikiwI):

 Eben,
 So here's what I am thinking

 If say 10 characters are 20 pango units. And naturally 20 characters will
 definitely be above 20 pango units. So we can be sloppy, and ideally limit
 characters by pango units. I will see if theres a method to slice a string
 with respect to pango units. If not long way parse each character add up,
 and slice then.

 And if the characters are around say 8-13 then we do a check on each
 character width, and perform a trim.
