title: How do I specify to prawn to truncate table cell content?
body: <p>I'd like to instruct Prawn to truncate the contents of table cells instead of wrapping them.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried setting the style as follows, but it has no effect:</p>
  
  <pre><code>options = {
    cell_style: {
      overflow: :truncate
    },
  }
  pdf.table(entries, options)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If there is no direct way to specify truncation, I need a workaround recipe.</p>
  
  <p>Please consider the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I cannot truncate the strings themselves, because the font is not fixed-width</li>
  <li>calculating the width of each string is acceptable, but I would also need a way to retrieve the column width.</li>
  </ul>
