Hello, for a CD-Cover I have to fit a given text into a fixed box. I have tried to achieve this with the help of mag-0010 "Good looking shapes" but was not successful :-(
Can you help me with this? The conditions: - the text is of fixed length - the area is of given size (has a given ratio) - the text has to fit completely inside this area - the last line must be justified, too - the fontsize of the text is the variable that can be changed - I have the current minimal context installation and as an addition: - if possible the words should not be hyphenated at all or hyphenated at an arbitrary character without a hyphenation mark (the text consists of names) A possible algorithm (similar to the one from mag-0010) 1 start with a small box with the given ratio 2 fill the text into the box 3 if all text fits in with a small penalty we are ready 4 make the box a bit larger 5 goto 2 Unfortunately, I'm not able to understand the code from the mag nor can I code the algorithm in context ... I would appreciate any input on this problem!
