For iOS what I do is use sizeWithFont:minFontSize:actualFontSize:forWidth: on NSString. What it does is gives you a font size that will fit the entire string within the width you specify given some constraints such as a minimum font size.

I need to take that layout and resize it to fit it in multiple different places in my app. I can't just apply that resize ratio to the fonts, it just does not work. Is there a known way in cocoa to figure out the correct ratio for a font when resizing it so it fits within the rest of my layout and gives me same look but resized.
