Highlight Text that is Too Long to Fit on Screen without Shrinking

Tyler Rasmussen

It's sometimes really hard to tell that Proclaim shrunk a font-size slightly to fit a long string, and it's hard to figure out which line is causing the slight shrinkage (especially since the Proclaim font and the slide font may not have the same character widths or kerning). Even if the overflow warning returned, it never told us what line was causing the problem.

However, for Proclaim to shrink fonts, it has to already be doing calculations on string length.

If Proclaim could simply highlight, maybe with a bold red or an underline or an asterisk, the lines that have too long of a string length, that would save a whole lot of time and effort testing for overflow issues.
