Dear list, I have the following sample: \showframe \starttext {\setupbodyfont[120pt]My Title} \stoptext Is there a way to make ConTeXt automatically calculate the size of the \setupbodyfont, so that the passage fits exactly to text width? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\starttext \WidthSpanningText{My Title}{\textwidth}{Serif} \WidthSpanningText{My Title}{12cm}{MonoBold} \WidthSpanningText{My Title}{14cm}{SansItalic} \stoptext Wolfgang

\WidthSpanningText{My Title}{12cm}{MonoBold}

\WidthSpanningText{My Title}{14cm}{SansItalic}

\stoptext

Another solution is to use the \scale command: \starttext \scale[width=\textwidth]{My Title} \stoptext Wolfgang

Many thanks for the new rely, Wolfgang. I think this is easier to remember. And replying to my previous question \dontleavehmode allows right (I mean correct ;-)) alignment. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. That was what I was looking for. There is a minor issue with alignment: \starttext \startalign[center] \widthspanningtext{text}{.5\textwidth}{Serif} \stopalign \hfill\widthspanningtext{text}{.5\textwidth}{Serif} \stoptext Am I missing something or is \hfill the only way to align the contents from \widthspanningtext?

Use \midaligned{\WidthSpanningText{…}{…}{…}} or \startlinealignment[middle] \WidthSpanningText{…}{…}{…} \stoplinealignment Wolfgang

There is a MP solution: \starttext \startMPcode draw textext("My Title") xsized TextWidth ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Alan

Many thanks for your reply, Alan. It’s good to know that MP fits perfectly here. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
