Specifies font weight. The values 'normal' and 'bold' are supported for most fonts. Not all fonts have a variant for each of the numeric values, in that case the closest one is chosen.
Specifies text alignment. The value 'justify' is only supported on iOS and
fallbacks to left on Android.
Set to false to remove extra font padding intended to make space for certain ascenders / descenders.
With some fonts, this padding can make text look slightly misaligned when centered vertically.
For best results also set textAlignVertical to center. Default is true.
