Doug,
Actually this was on a software only OpenGL implementation. My gut instinct
is that this is a failure in the text renderer that is being silently
"handled" during the Text2D generation process.
I have attached an illustration from my forthcoming book that displays this
problem.
The top line of "text" is a Text2D with a point side of 400.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman
