It doesn't matter whether I am trying to change existing text or am setting up the Text Tool for entering some new text. Selecting different units for the text size makes no difference in the maximum text size.

Any ideas?

Are you using a scalable font?

I don't have any trouble making text as large as I might want. However, if I make it too large to fit in the image frame, it gets truncated. When you use the text tool, it produces a small window in which you enter the text, and it is then that you vary the font and size. Also, if I want to modify the size later, all I have to do is make sure I choose the layer containing the text. Look at the layers window. If you are making multiple attempts to create text, you may end up making more than one text layer, and in that case, you should make sure you've selected the one you want to change.

Any ideas?
