If the maxWidth argument was specified and the hypothetical width of the inline box in the hypothetical line box is greater than maxWidth CSS pixels, then change font to have a more condensed font (if one is available or if a reasonably readable one can be synthesised by applying a horizontal scale factor to the font) or a smaller font, and return to the previous step. " Scaling the glyphs uniformly, vertically anchored to the textBaseline, would look much more coherent and be more predictable for developers than applying a non-uniform scaling or changing the font altogether. If possible I would loose the part about changing the font or applying an horizontal scale factor to the font. -- Mathieu 'p01' HENRI JavaScript developer, Opera Software ASA
