TextView: smaller letters (less wide)

Question

Is it possible to make the letters in a TextView be less wide? I have a fixed width for my TextView, it's 100dp There should be maximum 2 lines (it's two words, in every language)

In some languages that's perfect but in other languages it splits up the first word because it's to long. This fills up the two lines with 1 word that's split in two parts.

Is it possible to make sure that my letters are a bit smaller, so that the words fit in every language?

You could use a locale specific dimension resource for the text size, however, if you're following the recommendations and using sp for text sizes, then any language could wrap if the user increases their text size in settings. — alex, Sep 09 '13 at 07:27
You could also look for a font that has lower spacing between the letters. — Philipp Jahoda, Sep 09 '13 at 07:34
Seems that my 'sp' size was a bit to high, solved it by putting it lower, but it looks pretty small right now. It's not perfect but it's as good as it gets, I guess... — dumazy, Sep 09 '13 at 07:39
