下面是一种改进的循环方法，它使用二进制搜索在尽可能少的步骤中找到适合父字体的最大可能大小(这比按固定字体大小步进更快更准确)。代码还在几个方面进行了性能优化。

默认情况下，将执行10个二进制搜索步骤，这将在最佳大小的0.1%之内。相反，您可以将numIter设置为某个值N，以获得最佳大小的1/2^N范围内。

用CSS选择器调用它，例如:fittopparent ('.title-span');

/**
 * Fit all elements matching a given CSS selector to their parent elements'
 * width and height, by adjusting the font-size attribute to be as large as
 * possible. Uses binary search.
 */
var fitToParent = function(selector) {
    var numIter = 10;  // Number of binary search iterations
    var regexp = /\d+(\.\d+)?/;
    var fontSize = function(elem) {
        var match = elem.css('font-size').match(regexp);
        var size = match == null ? 16 : parseFloat(match[0]);
        return isNaN(size) ? 16 : size;
    }
    $(selector).each(function() {
        var elem = $(this);
        var parentWidth = elem.parent().width();
        var parentHeight = elem.parent().height();
        if (elem.width() > parentWidth || elem.height() > parentHeight) {
            var maxSize = fontSize(elem), minSize = 0.1;
            for (var i = 0; i < numIter; i++) {
                var currSize = (minSize + maxSize) / 2;
                elem.css('font-size', currSize);
                if (elem.width() > parentWidth || elem.height() > parentHeight) {
                    maxSize = currSize;
                } else {
                    minSize = currSize;
                }
            }
            elem.css('font-size', minSize);
        }
    });
};

我为AngularJS创建了一个指令——很大程度上受到了GeekyMonkey答案的启发，但没有jQuery依赖。

标记

<div class="fittext" max-font-size="50" text="Your text goes here…"> < / div >

指令

app.directive('fittext', function() {

  return {
    scope: {
      minFontSize: '@',
      maxFontSize: '@',
      text: '='
    },
    restrict: 'C',
    transclude: true,
    template: '<div ng-transclude class="textContainer" ng-bind="text"></div>',
    controller: function($scope, $element, $attrs) {
      var fontSize = $scope.maxFontSize || 50;
      var minFontSize = $scope.minFontSize || 8;

      // text container
      var textContainer = $element[0].querySelector('.textContainer');

      angular.element(textContainer).css('word-wrap', 'break-word');

      // max dimensions for text container
      var maxHeight = $element[0].offsetHeight;
      var maxWidth = $element[0].offsetWidth;

      var textContainerHeight;
      var textContainerWidth;      

      var resizeText = function(){
        do {
          // set new font size and determine resulting dimensions
          textContainer.style.fontSize = fontSize + 'px';
          textContainerHeight = textContainer.offsetHeight;
          textContainerWidth = textContainer.offsetWidth;

          // shrink font size
          var ratioHeight = Math.floor(textContainerHeight / maxHeight);
          var ratioWidth = Math.floor(textContainerWidth / maxWidth);
          var shrinkFactor = ratioHeight > ratioWidth ? ratioHeight : ratioWidth;
          fontSize -= shrinkFactor;

        } while ((textContainerHeight > maxHeight || textContainerWidth > maxWidth) && fontSize > minFontSize);        
      };

      // watch for changes to text
      $scope.$watch('text', function(newText, oldText){
        if(newText === undefined) return;

        // text was deleted
        if(oldText !== undefined && newText.length < oldText.length){
          fontSize = $scope.maxFontSize;
        }
        resizeText();
      });
    }
  };
});

我找到了一种方法来防止使用循环来缩小文本。它通过将字体大小乘以容器宽度和内容宽度之间的比率来调整字体大小。因此，如果容器的宽度是内容的1/3，字体大小将减少1/3，容器的宽度也将减少1/3。为了扩大规模，我使用了while循环，直到内容大于容器。

function fitText(outputSelector){
    // max font size in pixels
    const maxFontSize = 50;
    // get the DOM output element by its selector
    let outputDiv = document.getElementById(outputSelector);
    // get element's width
    let width = outputDiv.clientWidth;
    // get content's width
    let contentWidth = outputDiv.scrollWidth;
    // get fontSize
    let fontSize = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(outputDiv, null).getPropertyValue('font-size'),10);
    // if content's width is bigger than elements width - overflow
    if (contentWidth > width){
        fontSize = Math.ceil(fontSize * width/contentWidth,10);
        fontSize =  fontSize > maxFontSize  ? fontSize = maxFontSize  : fontSize - 1;
        outputDiv.style.fontSize = fontSize+'px';   
    }else{
        // content is smaller than width... let's resize in 1 px until it fits 
        while (contentWidth === width && fontSize < maxFontSize){
            fontSize = Math.ceil(fontSize) + 1;
            fontSize = fontSize > maxFontSize  ? fontSize = maxFontSize  : fontSize;
            outputDiv.style.fontSize = fontSize+'px';   
            // update widths
            width = outputDiv.clientWidth;
            contentWidth = outputDiv.scrollWidth;
            if (contentWidth > width){
                outputDiv.style.fontSize = fontSize-1+'px'; 
            }
        }
    }
}

这段代码是我上传到Github https://github.com/ricardobrg/fitText/的测试的一部分

我确实喜欢

let name = "Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience."
let originFontSize = 15;
let maxDisplayCharInLine = 50; 
let fontSize = Math.min(originFontSize, originFontSize / (name.length / maxDisplayCharInLine));

下面是接受的答案的一个版本，它也可以接受minFontSize参数。

(function($) {
    /**

    */
    $.fn.textfill = function(options) {
        var defaults = {
            maxFontPixels: 40,
            minFontPixels: 10,
            innerTag: 'span'
        };
        var Opts = jQuery.extend(defaults, options);
        return this.each(function() {
            var fontSize = Opts.maxFontPixels;
            var ourText = $(Opts.innerTag + ':visible:first', this);
            var maxHeight = $(this).height();
            var maxWidth = $(this).width();
            var textHeight;
            var textWidth;
            do {
                ourText.css('font-size', fontSize);
                textHeight = ourText.height();
                textWidth = ourText.width();
                fontSize = fontSize - 1;
            } while ((textHeight > maxHeight || textWidth > maxWidth) && fontSize > Opts.minFontPixels);
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

这是我对OP的答案的修改。

简而言之，许多尝试优化此功能的人抱怨使用了循环。是的，虽然循环可能很慢，但其他方法可能不准确。

因此，我的方法是使用二进制搜索来找到最好的字体大小:

$.fn.textfill = function()
{
    var self = $(this);
    var parent = self.parent();

    var attr = self.attr('max-font-size');
    var maxFontSize = parseInt(attr, 10);
    var unit = attr.replace(maxFontSize, "");

    var minFontSize = parseInt(self.attr('min-font-size').replace(unit, ""));
    var fontSize = (maxFontSize + minFontSize) / 2;

    var maxHeight = parent.height();
    var maxWidth = parent.width();

    var textHeight;
    var textWidth;

    do
    {
        self.css('font-size', fontSize + unit);

        textHeight = self.height();
        textWidth = self.width();

        if(textHeight > maxHeight || textWidth > maxWidth)
        {
            maxFontSize = fontSize;
            fontSize = Math.floor((fontSize + minFontSize) / 2);
        }
        else if(textHeight < maxHeight || textWidth < maxWidth)
        {
            minFontSize = fontSize;
            fontSize = Math.floor((fontSize + maxFontSize) / 2);
        }
        else
            break;

    }
    while(maxFontSize - minFontSize > 1 && maxFontSize > minFontSize);

    self.css('font-size', fontSize + unit);

    return this;
}

function resizeText()
{
  $(".textfill").textfill();
}

$(document).ready(resizeText);
$(window).resize(resizeText);

这也允许元素指定最小和最大字体:

<div class="container">
    <div class="textfill" min-font-size="10px" max-font-size="72px">
        Text that will fill the container, to the best of its abilities, and it will <i>never</i> have overflow.
    </div>
</div>

此外，该算法是无单位的。你可以指定em, rem， %等，它将使用它的最终结果。
