I've posted to the Innodata Isogen Web site a simple Saxon extension 
that lets you estimate the formatted length of a string. This lets you 
do this kind of simple copy fitting, such as making sure a list 
accomodates the longest term in a definition list.

See:

You may have to register and create a user ID, for which I appologize--I 
have no influence on our marketing policies.

Cheers,
