One workaround would be to have 4 different reports, each with manually set font sizes for:

Chars07.frx (up to 7 characters)
Chars08.frx
Chars09.frx
Chars10.frx

Update: on re-reading you might be saying you want to change the control font size during the actual run of the REPORT FORM command, generating a multi-page printed report. I don't know how you could do that. Another workaround would be to run the report one row at a time i.e. REPORT FORM ... NEXT 1, and for each report/page pick the appropriate CharsXX.frx

Another approach might be to define reports based on font size e.g.

Font185.frx
Font175.frx
Font165.frx etc.

Then, when running a one-page-at-a-time report generation loop, use TXTWIDTH() to determine the width of the string you want to print, testing your various font sizes until you get the closest fit.
