so then you first declear all the fonts (from 1 to size of string) then run a for loop as this:

for i=1 to length(text)
font.draw(text(i),X,Y,fontid(i),color)
end for

as the for loop increases, the fontid changes (make sure fonts are in an array)

also a good estimate of the position of X is number of letters * fontsize... So since its gonna be changing, I recomend counter... as

X:= X + (length(text)-i) + (note here)

in note here part you put w/e value you'd have to add to length of the text to get largest font size. This is assuming that fonts decrease by 1.

length(text) - i
gives size of the font and
note here
part gives the base size increasement... well it depends on how you declear your fonts.

Hope you understand
