Is there a plugin that can achieve this?

html:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ui.all.css"/>

<div id="container" class="ui-widget-content"
  style="font-size:10px;width:100px;height:100px;padding:0.5em;">         
    <div class="ui-widget-header">Resize This</div>
    this is some text. this is some text. this is some text. this is some 
    text. this is some text. this is some text. this is some text. this is 
    some text. this is some text. this is some text. this is some text.
</div>

jquery:

    var oh=0; //original height of container
    var ow=0; //original width of container
    var fs=10;//original font size

    $(document).ready(function(){
        oh=$("#container").height();
        ow=$("#container").width();

        $("div#container").resizable({
            stop: function(element,ui){
              var h=ui.size.height;
              if(oh==0) return;
              var nfs = (h/oh) *fs;
              $("#container").css({'font-size':nfs+"px"});
           },
           ghost: true
         });
    });
