textfit – Fit text to a desired size
Package to fit text to a given width or height by scaling the font. For example: \scaletowidth{3in}{This}. (The job is done by calculating a magstep and applying it to the current font; thus “This” will be very tall, as well as very wide; to scale in just one dimension, use the facilities of the graphicx package.)
