jQuery TextFill

It resizes text to fit into a container and makes font size as big as possible.

This jQuery plugin was created by Russ Painter around May 2009, beginning with a StackOverflow question. In very early 2012, Yu-Jie Lin helped to move the project to GitHub with version 0.1 and obtained the clearly stated open source licensing from Russ.
