Any hints ?
Auto-scaling text is only implemented for categorical legends.
I'll look into getting it working for gradient legends too.
Legend text is generally controlled by the height of the legend box.
Another option is to use the use= option. This will make a category
legend & thus auto-scale the text. From the look of your map, this may
be suited to your data..
BTW, have you tried the new horizontal legends? Maybe that is more
appropriate for your map?
Also, your "good" legend seems to have some label cruft ")" in it;
try using the -v flag.
I also see one of the recent d.frame fixes isn't drawing correctly..mph.
I have a problem with the automatic adjustment of font size in
d.legend. Using frames, I created the following display: http://moritz.homelinux.org/misc/good_legend.png
where everything displays fine. But when I try to reduce the width of

Even though it might not seem so, there are 589 categories in this map, so
the use option is not very practical. (Actually this map is complete
nonsense, I'm just using it for a proof of concept)

How do I create those, I didn't find it obvious to grasp that from the man
page ?

Ok, I just added support for FP (gradient) legends, please test.
I know it will give odd looking output if you auto-scale when using the
flip flag, the solution means adding a pre-formatting loop to know in
advance what the longest text string will be. That's more work than I
want to do right now for a corner case. Maybe if some is desperate I'll
revisit it.

Ok, you might try the "-n" flag to only draw categories with labels
then or play with the "thin=" & "range=" options.

quoth:
"When using the mouse or at= to size & place the legend, a user may
create a horizontal legend by making the box wider than it is tall."
This will make a category
