Sorry about the text wrapping in the e-mail.
Be sure to have this line as a separate line...

Ken
If you're familiar with the CopyFitLine function, try using this custom
function instead...
//set justwidth to true for horizontal scaling, false for changing point size
function CopyfitLineHorizontal(str, font, size, width, minimum, justwidth)
{
var tm = new FusionProTextMeasure;
tm.maxWidth = -1;
var newsize, retcode, i;
var trackInt = new Array(0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5);
basetags = "<f name=\"" + font + "\">";
newsize = size;
i = 0;
do
{
tags = basetags;
tags += (justwidth) ? "<setwidth " : "<z ";
tags += "newsize=" + newsize + "><tracking newsize=" + trackInt[i] + ">" +
str;
retcode = tm.CalculateTextExtent(tags);
(i < 5) ? i++ : i=5;
if (tm.textWidth > width * 100)
newsize -= 0.1;
} while (newsize > minimum && tm.textWidth > width*100 && retcode == 0);
return tags; // + " " + tm.textWidth + " " + width*100;
}
Then create a text rule, with tags turned on, and pass...
str = data field containing the string to alter
font = the font (put it in quotes) using the name that FusionPro recognizes
size = the original point size you want to use
width = width of the text area you want to fit measured in points (72 pts = 1
in)
minimum = the smallest point size you want the text to be in.
justwidth = enter true if you want the text to be "narrowed" down to the
"minimum" sized entered, enter false if you want the actual font size shrunk.
Examples...
An entry in the rule such as...
return CopyfitLineHorizontal("This is an extra long string", "Arial", 10, 110,
9, true);
will return a string with the height of the font still at 10, but the width
narrowed slightly...
'<f name="Arial"><setwidth newsize=9.8><tracking newsize=-2>This is an extra
long string'
A similar entry with a false value for the justwidth...
return CopyfitLineHorizontal("This is an extra long string", "Arial", 10, 110,
9, false);
will return a string with the whole font size "lowered" not just narrowed...
'<f name="Arial"><z newsize=9.8><tracking newsize=-2>This is an extra long
string'
Good Luck.
