depending on your exact implementation, you might find this useful: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/measureText

The CanvasRenderingContext2D.measureText() method returns a TextMetrics object that contains information about the measured text (such as its width for example).
