Of course in my case horizontal fitting would be equally important. I guess one could perhaps count the characters? This does raise one other question: Every time I add a textframe with text, the bottom of the frame is always slightly removed from the baselineof the text - possibly the line height - but I'm not sure. Is there a way to end the frame on the baseline and still allow the descender to extend? ID does this.
