-(BOOL)sizeFontToFit:(NSString*)aString minSize:(float)aMinFontSize maxSize:(float)aMaxFontSize 
{   
float fudgeFactor = 16.0;
float fontSize = aMaxFontSize;

self.font = [self.font fontWithSize:fontSize];

CGSize tallerSize = CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width-fudgeFactor,kMaxFieldHeight);
CGSize stringSize = [aString sizeWithFont:self.font constrainedToSize:tallerSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

while (stringSize.height >= self.frame.size.height)
       {
       if (fontSize <= aMinFontSize) // it just won't fit
           return NO;

       fontSize -= 1.0;
       self.font = [self.font fontWithSize:fontSize];
       tallerSize = CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width-fudgeFactor,kMaxFieldHeight);
       stringSize = [aString sizeWithFont:self.font constrainedToSize:tallerSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
       }

return YES;
