| Jan 15, 2017 at 17:09 | comment | added | Ian Turton♦ | mostly I'm concerned with readability so I don't want to mess with the font size | |
| Jan 15, 2017 at 17:01 | comment | added | user52245 | What about dynamically changing the font to fit? You could take the longest of the features dimensions, divide by how many characters in the label string, and either do some math with the scale or just use that to alter your already set font size... Alternatively you could use that measure (longest feature dimension / len of string) and if it's too long label with the id. | |
