Overview

InflateText remixes Dave Rupert's FitText.js by altering the resizer function to determine the maximum font-size that will allow an element to fit in the available horizontal space.

Usage

Invoke inflateText as any other jQuery plugin:

$('h1').inflateText();

You may optionally provide a scaling factor using the scale argument or set caps on the font size:

$('h1').inflateText({
	maxFontSize: 96, //(px)
	minFontSize: 32, //(px)
	scale: 0.8
});

Support

inflateText.js works in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and IE8+, but please don't hesitate to fork+fix any issues you discover.

A cautionary note:

Unless a minimum font size is specified, InflateText will always attempt to fit the target text into a single line. Mix long headlines and mobile resolutions only at your own risk!
