It is almost trivial, really, especially if you want the
output centered, as is usually done with titles.
Use the !X.WINDOW and !Y.WINDOW values, which locate
the ends of your plot in normalized coordinates
to help with the positioning.

Hmm... unless you're just trying to be cute, David, I think he meant
different FONT sizes...
In that case you have to use more escape code, but I don't have time
to look up the documentation right now.

Huh!?
IDL> plot, findgen(11), position=[0.15, 0.15, 0.9, 0.75], $
title='This is short!cAnd this is much longer!cand this ' + $
is much, much, much longer'
