Padding / Margin absolutely no affect

See original GitHub issue

this is the strangest issue I have seen yet.

I have tried this cases

                        <Icon name={"user"} size={18}>
                            <Text style={{padding: 15}}></Text> 
                        </Icon>
                        <Text >{'Home'}</Text>

and

                        <Icon name={"user"} size={18} style={{padding: 15}} />
                        <Text >{'Home'}</Text>

and

                        <Icon name={"user"} size={18} style={{padding: 15}}/>
                                                    <Text style={{padding: 15}}>{'Home'}</Text>
                                                </Icon>

and in every case… padding does absolutely nothing. Is anyone else trying this ? Im using FontAwesome… the other issue is fa-fw for a standard width for all icon widths… how is this to be done?

Text components have slightly limited styling support compared to View, so if you want more power I’d suggest wrapping it with a View.

For fixed width, I’d set a width on the icon and apply textAlign: 'center'. If you’re using this in many places you can make a composition component out of it.
