Default GFX: Stretch Text (API Feature Request)

Hi !

Tell me if i'm wrong, but there is no way to stretch text display in the current REAPER API.

gfx.drawstr just allow to display text as X and Y pos, but we have no control other it's width (it s height is adjusted by font-size which is ok).

Allowing to strecth the text would make nice thing possible, such as building an ADR rythmo-band monitor for the Heda's Note Reader, ideal for dubbing (idea exposed here)

Maybe we could imagine a other function called gfx.drawstr_strech, that will allow a width percent parameter ?

another way to reduce width size of a text is by reducing kerning, but it can become hard to read very quickly.

Thanks for listening !
