Auto X-Scale Resizing

[GoYamazaki]

Summary
auto_size_text automatically adjusts its content's text size so that it will fit in their given layout.
As an alternative option, I want to fix the content's X-scale and place it in the given layout so that I could show its full content without changing the text's height.

For describing my feature request, I created a sample app and capture that demonstrates the behavior of 3 text widgets.

auto-xscale-demo.mp4

• The first TextWidget with red color represents Flutter's original text widgets with these parameters

Text(
  content,
  style:
      TextStyle(color: Colors.red, fontSize: fontSize),
  maxLines: 1,
  overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
),

• The second TextWidget with green color represents the auto_size_text with these parameters.

AutoSizeText(
  content,
  maxLines: 1,
  style: TextStyle(
      color: Colors.green, fontSize: fontSize),
),

• The third text-widget with blue color represents the sample I am trying to add to this package.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This may sound improper in the UI/UX perspective (especially in western typography),
but I want this feature by transforming the text's X-scale because of these reasons.

• In Japanese Fonts, fonts are meant to be squashed if needed in order to fit in the given space. Those are designed in that way.
  • ref. Sorry, in Japanese only.
• Preparing condensed fonts for every language is very costly.
• Since the Flutter engine does not support text's width for now, I just want the alternative solution to fulfill our demand.
