It looks like you can either use the _get_layout() method (which requires that you specify the renderer), or, if you know the text object will be among the last 50 for which _get_layout() has been called, you can use txt1.cached[txt1.get_prop_typ()]. > > Is there a different way to achieve a fitted text object?
