Matching Text Font Size to Card Dance effect
Is it possible to match (parent) the size of a font to the column and row size that is created in the Card Dance effect?
It seems that because of various letter sizes/fonts and kerneling distances, it is not possible to get each letter to occupy each tile created when you try to zoom into a Mosaic like effect using the Card Dance effect.
The closes online site that shows this effect is noted on the ayatoweb website with the example 49 the Mosaic Effect:

It appears his solution was to oversize the letter/words text image to a point that the zooming would match the lettering size of the text image. My experience has been that this oversizing to match tile colmn/row size to font size approach is pretty much hit or miss (no matter whether you use Independent or Columns follows Row).
It would good if you could match the number of columns and rows and the coordinating size of the image to match as a parenting link to this effect.
Can you parent a tiling effect’s (such as Card Dance) column and row size (and/or factor in the overall image size) to match an individual font sizes on an image that many letters? Can this kind of parenting be done?

Well…yes, it would look funny… but, as it is you would have a split m and an i with waaaay more space than needed…
The key problem is less about kerneling… but, more about size of text font in general.
If there was a way to parent changing of text size (forget space between letters), that would be a big leap in making this effect much easier to apply to different text font sizes without having to resize the entire composition (…not to mention making major changes to the zoom factors).
