To me, 'will' does not indicate futurity, so the rule doesn't apply. "If the words won't fit ..." means "If the words don't fit ...".
Compare: "I keep trying, but the car just won't start." That is not a statement about the future, but about the recent past and present.
So "If the words won't fit ..."is not a statement about the future, but about the present.
Am I right?
