Hi, Michael, try this: Manipulate[ Framed@Pane[Graphics[Text[Style["ABcdEG", n]]], {m1, m2}, Alignment -> Center], {n, 10, 30}, {m1, 50, 200}, {m2, 20, 200}] and play with parameters to chose those fitting your needs. Have fun, Alexei How can I automatically scale Text[] to fit into a bounding rectangle of a size that I specify? For instance, I can get a pretty close result here, but it is not perfect (the text doesn't touch the bottom edge of the rectangle), and "36", {0,0}, and {-1,-1} are all numbers I had to find through trial and error: Graphics[{ FaceForm[], EdgeForm[Black], Rectangle[{0, 0}, {100, 10}], Text[Style["Hello", 36], {0, 0}, {-1, -1}] } ] Thanks, Michael -- Alexei Boulbitch, Dr. habil.
