You can use Graphics.MeasureString to measure a string drawn with a specified font. For example, cycle through several font sizes and pick one that fits best into your textbox width.
Another way, which supposedly works better with non-ASCII characters, is TextRenderer.MeasureText. Suggested by this answer.
