Text gets cut off in accessoryCircular lock screen widget

I am working on an accessoryCircular (lock screen) widget that shows 2 values; a formatted $$ value and a 3-letter word.

The $$ value can be anything (e.g., $0 or $200K or 400M or 500B). I am formatting dollar values with a KMB if they exceed $1,000. The value needs to fit 1 line.

The problem I am facing is that for large $$ values, the right side gets cut off. If you look at the images, the M gets cut off from the $10.51M.

How can I best ensure fitting the value within the visible boundaries of an accessoryCircular's view?

Currently, I am using the following code, but it doesn't do the trick:

var entry: Provider.Entry
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            VStack {
                Text(entry.abc)
                    .lineLimit(1)
                    .minimumScaleFactor(0.5)
                Text("ABC")
                    .lineLimit(1)
                    .minimumScaleFactor(0.5)
            }
        }

I have been experimenting with adjusting font size dynamically, but I haven't found a good way.

Any ideas?

Lock screen widgets are limited to just a few system fonts.

From the documentation:

Use system font styles

Lock Screen widgets and watch complications appear adjacent to other widgets or complications, making a consistent look for your content that fits in well with the other elements a priority. To achieve a consistent look for your widgets and complications, use system fonts, default font parameters, and the following font styles:

  • Font.TextStyle.headline
  • Font.TextStyle.title
  • Font.TextStyle.body
  • Font.TextStyle.caption

To make your text fit the area, you are doing well with .minimumScaleFactor, try a lower factor, for example: 0.1.

Alternatively, try shortening your text.
