Big character size

[texus]

Is there any reason why a big character size would't work?
I gave a text a size of 400 (accidentally) and the program stopped on the assert in Texture::update.

Minimal code and exact error message/line please

[texus]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    sf::Text text("Test");
    text.setCharacterSize(400);

    return 0;
}

The error is this:
Assertion failed: (y + height <= m_size.y), function update, file /Users/me/Documents/SFML2/src/SFML/Graphics/Texture.cpp, line 316.

Thanks.

It seems like you're using an old graphics card (integrated Intel?), which has a limit of 512x512 for textures. Therefore, SFML cannot put all the characters that you're trying to display in a single texture, which is not supported due to the way glyphs are rendered.

Actually I have a Radeon HD 5500 series, but I guess it has something to do with my Mac OS X.

Anyway, it's good to know it is caused by my computer and that I don't have to put a limit on the text size in my program.
Thanks for your help.
