This isn't doable in general. Consider this case:
<div style="width: 0; font-size: our-magic-value">
Some text
</div>
What's the height of the div?

As someone who habitually browses with a 13px minimal font size set, I
can tell you that people who do this sort of thing right now end up with
text in their buttons wrapping and covering up other things... Makes
some websites well-nigh unusable.
