As for displaying a line of text to make it a single line regardless of screen width/font size?
One tried and true way to do this is (1) use print screen on that line of text (2) bring in that image to calibre as a png. The image will appear as text even though it is not. As an image it will enlarge or shrink to screen width as needed. Same method works good for image plus its caption. The disadvantage of doing this is that the caption is no longer searchable. Another disadvantage is that the text is not limited in size and can get way too small or way too large, depending on column size or screen size. The simpler, future solution is container queries making use of the new kinds of font sizes: cqw , cqh , cqi , cqb , cqmin , and cqmax. Container queries can (at least partially) take over for OL, UL, DD, DT, DL, LI, tables, grid, flex, columns, and float. As for hardware catching up... So far nothing has caught up with the calibre viewer (in my opinion).
