Hi,

I am trying to fit some text in a limited box and I understand I can do this by 
using "caption" without specifying "-pointsize". I tried it and it worked. 
However, I have one more problem - I have to use Arial-Black font and at larger 
pointsize (most of the text will be between 30 and 40) the space between the 
lines is very wide. After reading everythign I could on ImageMagick website I 
understand that this is a feature of the type, and that it cannot be changed in 
ImageMagick (well at least it is not straight forward), correct?

I could solve this problem by separating the text into several strings (as many 
as there are lines of text that were fit into the box by "caption"), and then 
placing each string (or line) separately within the box. However, for that I 
would need  to know the pointsize "caption" finally chose. Is there a way to 
get to that information - the font size "caption' chose to fit the text inside 
the box with word wrap?

If I cannot  get that, then I am out of ideas, at least easiers ones. Any 
suggestion/examples would be greatly appreciated.

By the way - I am working with PerlMagick. But I could switch to another API if 
that would solve my problem (and if somebody already did this and can share 
some code :o)

Thank you for your time and help!


Best Regards,

Zrinka
