Hello,

I have a problem

Here is the scenario.

There is a predefined width and height. Lets assume 200 x 400

Now I have some text which is like tag cloud.

What I want to do it fit it as perfectly as possible into the 200x400 box.

Issues:
1) Tags vary in length......
2) Tags font size is also variant.
3) Wordwrap messes up the number of lines and thus messes up the height.

I have been doing the calculations based on fontsize occupying the number of pixels and then deducting those pixels from the total area. Yet the randomness of the data which is fed to it is not allowing to get much accuracy.

Some ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Might be easier to use Flash or something where you can morph the text...
