text in rows in small height

[pd42]

I have set up a fine grid (small row/column spacing) that I want to use
to display text at specific coordinates.
Is it possible to put normal sized text (let's say size = 10) in
'small' rows (let's say row height=3) such that the text is still
perfectly readable? Right now my text is cut so that only the bottom
part is displayed, the part of the text that extends into to rows above
is just not displayed...

I think I read a story about this once. A fellow tried to get an
elephant into a shoebox without damaging either...

That's a shame. It can be done in the horizontal sense though, if the
text is longer than the cell width it will also display in the right
neighbour cell.
Don't see any reaon why this shouldn't be possible in the vertical
sense.
