Default platform paragraph style


## Properties

<div class='sourceset sourceset-android'>Android</div>


```kotlin
val includeFontPadding: Boolean
```


Include extra space beyond font ascent and descent.

Enables turning on and off for Android
`includeFontPadding`(https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/StaticLayout.Builder#setIncludePad(boolean)).

includeFontPadding was added to Android in order to prevent clipping issues on tall scripts.
However that issue has been fixed since Android 28. Jetpack Compose backports the fix for
Android versions prior to Android 28. Therefore the original reason why includeFontPadding
was needed in invalid on Compose.

This configuration was added for migration of the apps in case some code or design was
relying includeFontPadding=true behavior.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-android'>Android</div>


```kotlin
val emojiSupportMatch: EmojiSupportMatch
```


When to replace emoji with support emoji using androidx.emoji2.

This is only available on Android.
