Auto-fitting text would be fantastic. Though this does involve rendering->size-detection->font-size-setting->remeasuring, boy would it be handy.

Bonus points for the ability to auto-fit the font proportionally OR horizontally only (stretched/squished) so the height could either A) scale too or B) remain constant.
