Long Text being cut down

[AStarySky]

Describe the bug

In ManimGL v1.6.1 with manimpango v0.4.1, when passing a long string to Text, parts outside the screen are cut.

Code:

class Textbug(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        text = "The study of this language does not require a bulky knowledge of numerous parts of mathematics; although some preliminary acquaintance with calculus and algebra is more than welcome."
        text_box = Text(text, font="Consolas").scale(0.7)
        self.add(text_box)

@AStarySky did you ever find a workaround for this issue? The same issue seems to be present on manim Community, but I can't find a bug for it.

Umm, it’s probably the problem of manimpango, the text processing part of manim. What I choose to do is to just fallback to whatever version of manimgl that can handle this properly (I’m using v1.5.0 right now, which is pretty old). Also I remember that manimce and manimgl uses different version of manimpango, so it might not work for you. But thank you for your attention on the problem, I hope that this problem will solve soon.(Maybe you can reach out to other developers maintaining CE) Or just \n in every line.🫤 来自钉钉专属商务邮箱------------------------------------------------------------------ ***@***.***> 日　期：2024年12月05日 16:23:05 ***@***.***> ***@***.***>; ***@***.***> 主　题：Re: [3b1b/manim] Long Text being cut down (Issue #1833) @AStarySky did you ever find a workaround for this issue?

Also, I’m quite busy with my studies right now, so it’s been a long time since I used manim last time. Apologies for any inaccuracies. 来自钉钉专属商务邮箱------------------------------------------------------------------ ***@***.***> 日　期：2024年12月05日 16:23:05 ***@***.***> ***@***.***>; ***@***.***> 主　题：Re: [3b1b/manim] Long Text being cut down (Issue #1833) @AStarySky did you ever find a workaround for this issue?

I did report this on manim CE as well: ManimCommunity/manim#4043

Using Tex is a good workaround in my case.
