Can you put your two handlers on the list? " I also have an option to fit

I use the same technique as BR with a couple of diffs. I originally went down
by 1's like BR but changed it for increased performance. I set the textsize to
a large number(I like BR's initial size option) I then go down by 8s, add 7,
down by 4s, add 3, down by 2s, add 1 finally down by ones

This.
Font scaling itself is nonlinear enough, but the way
Sannyasin,
I've been doing this for years. Works well...
on doShrinkToFit lFldID,startingSize,minSize
set the textSize of lFldID to startingSize
repeat until the formattedHeight of lFldID <= the height of lFldID
set the textSize of lFldID to (the textSize of lFldID - 1)
if the
In the repeat loop set the attributes of the empty field and use measureText
(or measureUnicodeText) to compute the textSize. As a last step fill the field.

But "line breaks" is another known factor, based on X… which still leaves us on
variable to find.

You probably could get close with math but line breaks would not be uniform and

According to the "laws of math" (ha... algebrait has been
such a long time; I could be wrong) if you have single unknown variable , X,
and all others are known factors, you would,
