Is your feature request related to a problem or a limitation? Please describe... In case of an unlikely emergency a teleprompter screen or tablet might brake and there might not be a replacement that matches the size of the teleprompter mirror. If the screen is too big QPrompt has you covered, you can adjust the width of the text, but if the screen is too small, there's nothing you can currently do.

Describe the solution you'd prefer Ideally the person would just buy a screen of the correct size. Nevertheless, the solution I propose is to rotate the screen and picture diagonally, allowing users to have lines that are almost as wide as the hypotenuse of the screen or of the prompter viewport, which will always be larger than the longest side of the viewport.

Provide use examples There are two large sized teleprompters, one screen dies, a smaller screen or tablet is available, but the host is legally blind and needs a larger font size than what can properly be fitted without reducing the width that's available for words by too much. The user uses the smaller screen in full screen and rotates the screen so the diagonal looks horizontal.

This is a temporary and ridiculous solution to an unlikely situation. See linked video for the source of inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHzXZvbF8nA
