Hi @davatron5000 , Why use this plugin when we can set font size relative to viewport (in vw or vh) or container (in %)? I'll be appreciated for explanation of differences.

this jquery plugin predates decent browser support for vw and vh units. there are other methods of doing this namely FITTER HAPPIER TEXT. this plugin also maintains the headline across a line without wrapping.
