Is there any way to find out what the Max Font size I can use is? or at least have it blocked somwhere, rather than crashing?
I don't know. You might have to just pick a max value that seems safe. Somebody on wx-users might know more.
If you're running CVS or the most recent test build, you should be able to get it to crash by runing the FloatCanvas Demo, selecting the ScaledText demo, and zooming in a lot.
I havn't looked hard to see what happens on other platforms yet, so I'd like to hear if any of you try it on OS-X or Windows.
Both seem to be able to zoom much farther. I get to the point that I have to drag *a lot* to find part of the text, but it is still there. If I zoom a couple more steps then I can't find anything on the canvas other than the lines and points. Even the polygons have stopped drawing. So there seems to be a limit on both of the other platforms as well, but they fail more gracefully.
