I am using "Lucida Grande Typewriter" as the font at size "12"
I'm trying to make a simple text editor that uses monospaced only
fonts, with a character grid/guide so I know at what character
position I am at when typing text.
I suspect that the pixel width limit is much less than it was or I
misunderstood what the pixel limit was. And/or there may be a
separate limit on the scroll. I suspect there are arithmetic
errors from overflows.
I tried 12 point courier. That is 7 points wide so I thought I
should be able to put 4570 characters on the line (assuming 32000
pixel limit). Boy did that go goofy. The line was cut off and the
scroll went way beyond the end of the line.
I was only able to put in about 3700 characters in the first line
and scroll right.
The formatted width was messed up, so you might want to go to much
less.
Gotta go.

LOL.. Yeah, plays a bit of a game on it doesn't it.
Thanks Dar for at least trying to figure that one out. I have never
had the need for a line of text that's 32,000 or 65,000 or whatever,
so maybe setting up my own code to limit lines to say 1024 or 2048
should be fine for me.
Thanks again,
-Garrett
