BR: Hmm I figured that a repeat loop would do that, but was look for a
"one-off-equation"
According to the "laws of math" (ha... algebra....it has been
such a long time; I could be wrong) if you have single unknown variable , X,
and all others are known factors, you would, in theory, be able to work out X
"in one go."
The [number of characters, in a given font size/face, that can
fit on one line of the field with a given length] is, in theory, among "what
can be the known"
These little repeat loops are costly on mobile....

your essentially want a repeat loop where you reduce the textSize of
char 1 to -1 of the field until the formattedHeight of the field is less
than or equal to the height of the field
You probably will need a condition in the loop to prevent the textSize
from going below 9
BR question
Assuming one is not putting whole pages into small fields, does any one
have an efficient run time LC algorithm that will set the font size so that the
formatted text will all appear in the field without needing to scroll?
