Overall I see font-size: auto as a good idea, however I do disagree with the
max/min font size on a CSS level.  That extra layer of redundancy isn't
needed and would add more complexities to debugging.  If font-size: auto
doesn't work in your situation, either modify the paddings to make it work,
or set a static size.  You can easily emulate this with a javascript/css
cocktail, checking the string length of the text, and altering it's CSS
class accordingly (to adjust font sizes).

Just my $0.02 however.
