} I would like to print a string truncated *but* without padding
Just truncate it first with padding, and then strip the padding.
${${(pl:WIDTH::::\0:)string}#*$'\0'}
${${(pr:WIDTH::::\0:)string}%$'\0'*}
You can pick some other character than NUL if you know that character
doesn't appear in the string, in which case you don't need the (p) flag.
