Dynamically resize text

[rectalogic]

However, I was hoping to get rid of the 'invisible text'-hack somehow.

You could scale the Text based on how much it exceeds your width at the specified pixelSize:

import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
    width: 200 
    height: 200 
    Text {
        width: 200
        height: 100
        text: "Some sample text here"
        font.pixelSize: height / 4
        scale: paintedWidth > width ? (width / paintedWidth) : 1
        transformOrigin: Item.TopLeft
    }
}

import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
    width: 200 
    height: 200 
    Text {
        width: 200
        height: 100
        text: "Some sample text here"
        font.pixelSize: height / 4
        scale: paintedWidth > width ? (width / paintedWidth) : 1
        transformOrigin: Item.TopLeft
    }
}
