Description
Target Use case
Allow text boxes to be uniformally sized on screen
Proposed feature
Add a property minWidth to text layer
Description
I have to display multiples values of weather stations, like that :

but it is not visually satisfying
I managed to get uniform widths by using white spaces and monospace font, it's a bit hacky but the result is quite OK

except that the font is now pretty ugly^^

Research direction
Start by locating the TextLayer implementation and reading how its text box dimensions are calculated. Trace the existing sizing behavior before deciding where the proposed minWidth property belongs; done means text boxes can be given a uniform minimum width without relying on whitespace or a monospace font.
