textview cutting off a letter in android

android

Solution

ended up with a hacky solution which is adding a white space after the last italicized character

Problem

this is a screen shot from my android. the text is "asd". however the "d" is slightly cut off. here is the relevant view: ``` <TextView android:id="@+id/stuff" android:padding="2dp" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_below="@+id/other_stuff" android:layout_marginTop="33dp" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:textStyle="italic" /> ``` any idea as to what is causing this ?
