In WPF 4.0, the FormattedText class requires at least to have enough vertical space to show a line and enough horizontal space to show a character, else shows nothing.
Is there a way to force FormattedText to generate the text characters partially?
By the way, I want this to show big text (e.g. with Arial 72)
Just a guess, but instead of limiting the text size by
MaxWidthandMaxHeight, couldn’t you clip the text by pushing a clip rectangle onto the DrawingContext?
