  --alternative
  local text = TextField.new(nil, txt,txt)
  text:setAnchorPoint(0,0.5)
  text:setScale(580/text:getWidth())

  @oleg Wait! Not too fast.
  First, according to documentation, setAnchorPoint is a Bitmap method not a TextField or their parent, Sprite.
  Second, setScale would compress my text to fit in the space leading to distortion of my text.
  getSample could do the job if it was a height contraint but it is width one.
  Here is my game released on itch.io without the issue solved (I'll update it when I'll manage to find a solution to this) :

  @oleg I don't understand your code. Would you explain more?

  By the way I avoided the problem by inserting "\n" everytime my strings got too far to the right. I didn't seen how to do it other way.

  @oleg Oh! Now I understand. Instead of using C escape sequences, it's more streamlined. Great! I forgot about that feature.
  What's with TextField.new(font, ttx, ttx)? Why 2 ttx parameters?

  @oleg Thank you very much. Sometimes, I make false assumptions based on memory. I should take the time to check before asking...
