Introduction
Fixes how text is draw in the Font class.

It will take the paramters you send to the draw_text method and check the text. It will shrink the font until the text fits in both the width, and height of your parameters.

Features

• Automatic Height Adjustment
  
• Autmatic Widht Adjustment
  
• Turns all the text arguments into strings, so you can pass number without .to_s
  
• Can turn on Bold or Italic if resizing occurs
  
• Returns font to normal state after resizing occurs
  

Instructions
Just Copy and Paste the script above Main

Demo Window
Copy and Paste this Above main. Then, make an event with a call script.
[codebox]

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ** Sample Window
#==============================================================================
class Window_DrawTextFixSample < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 320, 240)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, contents.width, 24, 'A sample line. Woot!', 1)
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 24, contents.width, 24, 46, 1)
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 48, 200, 24, 'long long long line of text that wont fit')
    self.contents.font.turn_bold = true
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 72, 200, 24, 'long long long line of text that wont fit')
    self.contents.font.turn_bold = false
    self.contents.draw_text(Rect.new(0, 96, 200, 10), 'long long long line of text that wont fit')
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 120, contents.width, 14, 'height adjustment')
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 134, contents.width, 24, 'height adjustment')
  end
end

[/codebox]

Call Script : @window = Window_DrawTextFixSample.new

Compatibility

Is SDK Compatable & Compiant. Works with and without SDK.
