We have commands like "\vfill" and "\hrulefill", etcetera that fill a space<br>
to its maximum capacity. Now, I would like to know if something like that<br>
exists that can take a "text" phase and and enlarge or decrease its font size<br>
to fill a predefined space.<br>
<br>
Example, I have a table that has a cell that is 3 inches wide. I want the<br>
text I enter in that cell to appear as large as possible in that space. I<br>
can, of course, experiment until I find the optimum size; however, a function<br>
that did it automatically would be a time saver.<br>
<br>
As I stated, I don't believe anything like that exists, but it doesn't hurt<br>
to ask.<br>
