1. A display device comprising:
a display; and
a controller, wherein
the controller
provisionally places an object with a non-display attribute on a display area of the display,
determines a display size of the object, as measured in pixels on the display, that allows the object to be contained within the display area by comparing a size of the provisionally-placed object with a size of the display area, and
renders, in pixels on the display, the provisionally-placed object in the display area using the determined display size of the object,
wherein the object comprises a plurality of lines of character strings, and
upon determining that a character size, in pixels, specified for the plurality of lines of character strings exceeds a height of the display area and reducing the specified character size allows the object to fit within the display area, the controller determines the size, in pixels, of the object by setting a width condensation ratio of the specified character size to a ratio between the specified character size and the reduced character size, such that the object fits within the display area using the specified character size as is.
