Create a Text2D with a small font - 12 point or something, and then scale it up with
a scale transform to the desired size. This way, hardly any texture memory is needed,
and there is no 1024 point or texture size limit. You can wrap this up in a factory
object with a method like
Group buildText2D(String message, double size)
