/* 
	STAdjFontTextField class, written by Robert Vasvari
	
	this class displays a string of any length by
   	first: cutting down the size of the font
          until it reaches the specified minimum font
   	second: the text will be truncated until it fits
           into the textfield


	setup: [adjFontTextObject setFont:"SomeFontName"];
	       [adjFontTextObject setAttributes:minsize :maxsize
			align:NX_CENTERED
			lines:1];
    the numbers minsize and maxsize are indices in the array 
	containing the known font sizes: 8,9,10,12,14, etc...
	So, 0 stands for point size 8, 1 for 9 etc...
	
	STAdjFontTextField will always try to use the maximum font size.
	STAdjFontTextField will use the specified alignment, such
	as NX_LEFTALIGNED, NX_CENTERED, etc.
	
	textGray defaults to NX_BLACK,
	backgroundGraydefaults to NX_LTGRAY
