@Michael: Thank you, you're right, I converted some CG-using code that actually used CGSizeMake() and forgot the different naming. And you're right, FLT_MAX was what I was looking for. Couldn't initially find it as it neither came up in a search for 'float', nor was in limits.h... Thanks.

Hey Uli, small typo in your code to resize the text container - that should be NSMakeSize() not NSSizeMake() (been playing around with CG stuff lately?).

Also, NSMakeSize() takes float arguments, so that should probably be FLT_MAX, not LONG_MAX.

And an interesting bug for everyone - if you don't put together the text system like above, you'll leak a little memory. i.e. if you add the layout manager to the text storage, *then* add the text container to the layout manager. I keep forgetting to submit a bug about that one.
