On each size event, we calculated the largest font that would fit into the
available space (vertical and horizontal), by iterating through the font
sizes starting at 1 point, and creating a new font, looking at the font
metrics (advance and height + descent, IIRC). When the font got too big, we
went back to the previous point size, and used that one. We never found a
more efficient way to do this, but it was actually fast enough. The screen
and the font would resize in real time as the user dragged the window
border.

you could cache the results.
