I'm trying to create a chunk of text such that it will match the size of a
classic rectangle. I'm having a problem with the font width. I am trying to
properly use setHorizontalScaling to achieve the proper width. I must not
understand what it really does. Please advise. TIA!

//text is a String
//font is a BaseFont
//fontSize is a float

Rectangle boundingRectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,250,150);

float mod_x = boundingRectangle.width() / font.getWidthPoint(text, fontSize);
float mod_y = boundingRectangle.height() / (font.getAscentPoint(text, fontSize)
- font.getDescentPoint(text, fontSize));

Chunk c = new Chunk(text);
Font modFont = new Font(font,fontSize * mod_y);
c.setFont(modFont)
c.setHorizontalScaling(mod_x);
.......
