Font Size Formula

[luiddog]

I have a situation where the longer the word is the smaller the font size. I get the word length from strlen() then change the font size based on the length.

The numbers decreases exponentially so I know there is a way for a formula just to figure it out. Any ideas. I forget math class.

strlen / Font Size
1 / 60
6 / 53
11 / 35
16 / 25
21 / 21
26 / 17

I don't see any obvious numerical relationship - exponential or otherwise - between those font sizes. The intervals in your example are 7, 18, 10, 4, and 4. That's neither linear nor exponential, nor even a curve; it's entirely arbitrary.

There has to be some mathematical relationship between the desired font sizes before you can write something to calculate it automatically.
