Best fit font size on zoom level

We are using shape nodes to display components. We are showing short and long labels depends on zoom level(below 25 percent short label and above 25 percent long labels).
However in some zoom level shape node gets blank and shows empty box. We have identified the reason and decreasing font size solved the problem.

However this is not generic solution, and if text length shown in shape node varies same problem occurs again.

Is there any algorithm/solution which will ensure that text in shape node will display no matter what the text size? We are using styled text with following settings

         node.getTextFormat().setNoWrap( false);
         node.getTextFormat().setHorizontalAlign( Align.Near);
         node.getTextFormat().setVerticalAlign( Align.Near);

Thanks in advance

Text does not scale perfectly along with zoom factor due to how OS font renderers work, e.g. switching to a different set of glyphs when font size changes (absolute size that's also multiplied by current scale). You could call TextFormat.setWrapAtCharacter(true) to allow wrapping the long first word from your image to a new line. Otherwise the text renderer stops when only allowed to wrap at word boundaries and it can't fit current word. You could also try calling resizeToFitText on a hidden clone of the node to see if text fits with current font size, and reduce the font size of the original node if necessary until text starts fitting.

Our developer's improved text rendering here, in case you prefer not to use the WrapAtCharacter option -
https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/jdiag46.zip

Now if a text line can't fit a single word, it is drawn clipped instead of stopping rendering there. In addition, a new WrapOverflowingSingleWordLines property lets you wrap only such long words, but otherwise keep wrapping lines only at word boundaries.
