Question / Help Text not being displayed properly/entirely

Not sure what the issue could be unless there is a character limit on OBS. But basically I have a scrolling text at the bottom of my screen of past donors and I add them all to the list which resets every month.

In OCT I tried to display the following text (copying and pasting exactly)

If you'd like to donate and/or contribute to the stream, please check below in the description! Your donation directly supports me and allows me to continue streaming as often as I do, and more! ~ All Time Top Donors: Haavard - $211, Mhardeman - $202, Crusaders_jack - $100 ~ October Donators: Haavard - $211, Crusaders_jack - $100, Mhardeman - $36, Baetzor - $30, Sterling - $20, Biitz - $15, DustMouret - $15, Shakezullah - $10, TheGodfatherX - $10, adreN - $2, aBurningPony - $1


I include the spaces at the top to seperate the message as its constantly scrolling and looks grossly squished otherwise.

The problem I was running into was that I was only able to display upto TheGodfatherX. Anything after that, from the amount onwards was not displayed and the message would wrap around and redisplay from If you'd like to support me again.

I tried making it display a text file, custom text extents, and everything else i could think of.

Halp?

If your text line is too long, it will cut it off because of the way it draws text -- this is a design limitation at the moment, I'd like to resolve it but it's a bit difficult to at the moment as I've got other priorities currently. It cuts off at 8096 width of the texture.

A way around the problem: Decrease the font size, and then increase the size of the actual source to compensate. Lower quality text, but it's a workaround.
