Basically you have to just brute-force your way through it one test at a 
time. Set the templateField to the font and wrap settings as needed. Put 
the text into it and check the formattedwidth and formattedheight. If 
it's bigger than the max or smaller than the min, adjust the text size 
and try it again. Lock messages to make it a little faster.
