    Default QLabel - auto font scaling possible?

    Is it possible to get a QLabel to automatically increase the size of the font so the text in the label occupies as much of the available space as possible (Ã la scaledContents for pixmaps)? I've attached some images to illustrate what I mean.

    Start.png - the starting point
    Desired.png - what I'd like to see
    Actual.png - what I'm actually seeing

    Perhaps I should be using something other than QLabel?

    No, but if you want to display a simple text only, you can create your own QWidget subclass that will calculate the font size based on the widget size and draw the text accordingly.
