I'm not sure how this (potential) solution would work in VFP, but in
another language I've created an in-memory graphic object and then use
that as a container to print text. It will then tell me how wide (and
high) that text actually was. I'll then dispose of that object but use
that information to put the graphic onto another 'thing' such as a
report. Sounds clunky but it runs very well. HTH.

We have a works "spec sheet" that defines each parameter of a customer job and
prints out on a SINGLE sheet of A4 all the parameters that a machine operator requires.
Some of this data is not fixed length i.e 2 fields that are purely descriptive so in the
space we have available for each field we need to display the data in the largest font
available for the space available. Note that this is in a report and I can use a udf to
change the font of a field before it is printed using the Report Listener.
