FitText – A Simple jQuery Plugin for Inflating Web Type
By the way, you can also use Lettering.js for modern web typography and then using FitText you can make those typography flexible and viewable in mobile devices.
How Doest it work
To use this jQuery plugin, just load the following line of codes in the section of your website:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.fittext.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery("#responsive_headline").fitText();
</script>
Your text should now fluidly resize, by default: Font-size = 1/10th of the element’s width.
If you feel that your text is resizing very poorly, then you can turn tweak up and down. The default is 1. See the following codes to understand more about it.
jQuery("#responsive_headline").fitText(1.2); // Turn the compressor up (resizes more aggressively)
jQuery("#responsive_headline").fitText(0.8); // Turn the compressor down (resizes less aggressively)
This will hopefully give you a level of “control” that might not be pixel perfect, but resizes smoothly & nicely.
