And what if individual characters are larger than the maximum texture size?
I just implemented this myself in OpenGL, and simply tiled the whole 2D image. A
disadvantage (so far) is visible white lines on the edges of the tiles. But it
works for arbitrarily large text, requires no font management, and allows the OS
to construct the whole displayed image.
