shrink wrap technique

[Chakravarthy Terlapu]

Hi,
 
I have a minimum bounding rectangle around a string(eg. I have a rectangle
box around NEBRASKA), but the rectangle is slightly bigger than the
string. I have to shrink the rectangle such that it exactly encloses the
string. Is there a way I can do this. It would be great if anyone could
help me.
 
Thanks in advance
