Is there a maximum font size for icon fonts?

Hi,

Lost a wee bit of my afternoon debugging a non-displaying font...

Simple question: is there a maximum size of character for imported fonts?

It looks like nothing larger than fontsize 32 exported from BMFont will display.

I would, obviously, like something bigger!

Am I doing something wrong, or have I hit an either undocumented or opaquely documented feature?

Thanks,

I have fonts over 150 high, made with bmfont. I leave the defaults pretty mush as is in bmfont, select the font, the height, and have a png for output, and that's about all I change.

Ah!

Found the actual cause...

I had inadvertently hit "Match char height" and, apparently, Garmin really doesn't like that.

Not even sure what it does, so not being able to use it won't bother me!

Anyway, working now, thanks.

AH!

No, I was wrong then.

The _root_ cause is my not understanding how it all worked.

But, I reckon the compiler should have at least gotten upset with me. Hence this:
