[Tugindia] Scaling text

[Sasi Kumar]

Was wondering whether it is possible to scale text in one direction alone.
Well, the problem is to fit some text within the margins when, as sometimes
happens, a bit projects out. In DTP applications like Pagemaker, InDesign,
etc. it is possible to manually reduce the spacing or scale that particular
part of the text so that it fits into the available space. Was wondering
whether scalebox or resizebox can be used to scale the text horizontally
alone to achieve a similar effect, though, I am sure, the text may look
awkward, if not ugly.

Thanks and regards
Sasi
