Your code does not adhere to my suggested guidelines, which state that
if filling a specific area is required then you should dynamically
figure out the font size using regular pango functionality. See the
Measure activity for an example.

I'd say your code is unlikely to continue working well in the future
regardless of whether this feature is implemented. I also think that
it won't even work very well at the moment, e.g. you seem to assume
that all blueberry users have identical displays.
