How to get UILabel (UITextView) auto adjusted font size?

Is it possible to get final font size, after autoadjusting? (property adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth set to YES, and text font size is being shrinked to fit into the label)

I am subclassing drawTextInRect in UILabel to put gradient on the text, but the gradient size needs to be the same, as the size of the font. I am not able to get proper size of the adjusted font...Is it even possible?

  //draw gradient

    CGContextSaveGState(myContext);
        CGGradientRef glossGradient;
        CGColorSpaceRef rgbColorspace;
        size_t num_locations = 2;
        CGFloat locations[2] = { 0.0, 1.0 };
        CGFloat components[8] = { 1, 1, 1, 0.25,  // BOTTOM color
            1, 1, 1, 0.12 }; // UPPER color

    //scale and translate so that text would not be rotated 180 deg wrong
        CGContextTranslateCTM(myContext, 0, rect.size.height);
        CGContextScaleCTM(myContext, 1.0, -1.0);

//create mask
        CGImageRef alphaMask = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(myContext);
        CGContextClipToMask(myContext, rect, alphaMask);

        rgbColorspace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
        glossGradient = CGGradientCreateWithColorComponents(rgbColorspace, components, locations, num_locations);

    //gradient should be sized to actual font size. THIS IS THE PROBLEM - EVEN IF FONT IS AUTO ADUJSTED, I AM GETTING THE SAME ORIGINAL FONT SIZE!!!

        CGFloat fontCapHeightHalf = (self.font.capHeight/2)+5;
            CGRect currentBounds = rect;
        CGPoint topCenter = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(currentBounds), CGRectGetMidY(currentBounds)-fontCapHeightHalf);
        CGPoint midCenter = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(currentBounds), CGRectGetMidY(currentBounds)+fontCapHeightHalf);

        CGContextDrawLinearGradient(myContext, glossGradient, topCenter, midCenter, 0);

        CGGradientRelease(glossGradient);
        CGColorSpaceRelease(rgbColorspace);
    CGContextRestoreGState(myContext);
