Flow/wrap text into an irregular shape

[Roger Eller]

Strangely, if the text size is made bigger, so it will fit into a larger
triangle, the width of the "Fview" field must be kept small during re-flow.
 Then the width can be increased to match the width of the triangle.  I am
unsure why, but it works.

Here is an example:
