Hi folks, I'd like to be able to have text shrink to fit a multi-line text box. The box will have a default font (say 20px Sans) and if the text fits in the box it will not adjust the font.

Hi everyone, We're using Inkscape to great effect: thank you for a great product. We do have a significant problem however.
