 **Font Atlas too large?**
 
 - If you have very large number of glyphs or multiple fonts, the texture may become too big for your graphics API. The typical result of failing to upload a texture is if every glyphs appears as white rectangles.
-- In particular, using a large range such as `GetGlyphRangesChineseSimplifiedCommon()` is not recommended unless you set `OversampleH`/`OversampleV` to 1 and use a small font size.
+- Mind the fact that some graphics drivers have texture size limitation. If you are building a PC application, mind the fact that your users may use hardware with lower limitations than yours.

 Some solutions:
 
 1. Reduce glyphs ranges by calculating them from source localization data.

+   You can use the `ImFontGlyphRangesBuilder` for this purpose and rebuilding your atlas between frames when new characters are needed. This will be the biggest win!
 2. You may reduce oversampling, e.g. `font_config.OversampleH = 2`, this will largely reduce your texture size.
    Note that while OversampleH = 2 looks visibly very close to 3 in most situations, with OversampleH = 1 the quality drop will be noticeable.
 3. Set `io.Fonts.TexDesiredWidth` to specify a texture width to minimize texture height (see comment in `ImFontAtlas::Build()` function).
 4. Set `io.Fonts.Flags |= ImFontAtlasFlags_NoPowerOfTwoHeight;` to disable rounding the texture height to the next power of two.
 5. Read about oversampling [here](https://github.com/nothings/stb/blob/master/tests/oversample).

 _A common misunderstanding is to mistake immediate mode gui for immediate mode rendering, which usually implies hammering your driver/GPU with a bunch of inefficient draw calls and state changes as the gui functions are called. This is NOT what Dear ImGui does. Dear ImGui outputs vertex buffers and a small list of draw calls batches. It never touches your GPU directly. The draw call batches are decently optimal and you can render them later, in your app or even remotely._
