Hi, looking to draw fonts at their biggest size, is there a limit.

If I loadfont I'm finding the limit is 399. If i use 400 it's just a white rectangle.

Thanks
Jim

Blitz doesn't render fonts the way a typical Windows application would. Instead it pre-renders everything and saves the results. When the font is actually used Blitz is just drawing the saved images.

That certainly uses a lot of memory for a large font, although I don't know the exact limits it implies.
