hi Ron,

not 100% exactly what you're looking for, i guess, but maybe a starting point.
put this expression into the size knob of the Text node:

5000/[string length [value message]]

works ok for one-liners (sometimes needs an additional whitespace at the end). needs a bit of playing with the value that suits your needs best instead of '5000'. and, of course, if you have line breaks in your text that makes things more difficult. in the worst case maybe you'd need a python function to return the size value based
on more factors than just the number of characters.

cheers,
Holger

That would be good. Yes.
The only way I can think to do this is by calling up the bounding box (don't confuse this with the Text node's box property, I mean the dotted line bounding box - the proverbial DOD) but that creates a feedback loop currently, it seems.

    Ron,

    I'd love that, too. And, I'd add the ability for it to scale up to
    fit. Essentially, a scale-to-fit would be great...

    Hi guys,
    can anyone think of a way to automatically control the font size
    of text in the Text node so a line of text always remains in the
    text box?
    At the moment, if some text is longer than the box it splits
    itself up and continues in another line. I want the text to
    become smaller instead.
    Any ideas?
