Text is cut off when inside a View with flexDirection: 'row' and Android “Bold text” setting is enabled

[Lego4m]

Description

When you enable the Android "Bold text" accessibility setting, <Text> components rendered inside a <View> with flexDirection: 'row' don't work correctly (text is cut off).

This issue happens in:

• 0.84.0-nightly-20251218-c7f433a41 (that includes this fix that seems to be related).
• 0.83.1
• 0.81.5 (old arch)

Devices tested:

• Pixel 9 Pro (emulator) + Android 16
• Pixel 8 (emulator) + Android 14
• Galaxy S23 + Android 16 + One UI 8.0

Minimal repro (ensure "Bold text" option is enabled):

<View>
  <View style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
    <Text style={{ fontSize: 12 }}>fontSize: 12</Text>
  </View>
</View>

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Android settings, "Display & touch", "Display size and text" and enable the "Bold text" toggle.
2. Open the reproducer app.
