You can't do that with CSS. The problem is that HTML and CSS are supposed to work in a variety of browsers and fonts and it is almost impossible to calculate the width of a string in a consistent way. This is an idea that might help you. However, you would need to do that a number of times, until you find the string with the appropriate width.
