How to specify correct fontsize of text according to plot boundary coordinates

I create a generic plot in matlab. Then I want to create a text into the plot. The text must have a exact size (length in x direction). In other words, I have the x coordinate of the beginning and the end of the text.

The problem is: how can I transform this size constraint (plot encumbrance) into a correct 'fontsize' value of the text?

I attach a image to explain better what I am looking for.

Thank you and best regards.

This is the best I can think of:

th = text(-10.05,0.94,'Hello WORLD!'); % Some text-coordinate in a figure of mine
txt_size = get(th,'Extent');           % gives [x0 y0 dx dy] of text-in-axis
txt_end = -9.975;                      % "Desired" end
while txt_size(1) + txt_size(3) < txt_end 
  set(th,'fontsize',get(th,'fontsize')+1); % increase fontsize by 1
  txt_size = get(th,'Extent');             % get the text extent
  drawnow                                  % for dramatic animation!
end
