    Is it possible to get the final height of a Text component, post wrap? In other words, if I have a Text component, set with vertical overflow to Overflow, and enough text that it goes beyond the RectTransform's height, can I get the actual text height of the total overflowed text?

    Use the preferredHeight/preferredWidth properties of the Text, which is always the widest/tallest the text can be (ignoring its current RectTransform) with its current wrap/truncate/overflow settings.
