We could make it fail > silently (not plot the text rather than raise).... My preference would be to see the error rather than mysteriously not see text. The latter would be more frustrating to debug - hard to track down. A scientific user should probably know that he's overextending the floating point capability, which was my case. I would be interested to see a concise form of John [H2O]'s bug, though - it might get more subtle if it's doing something funny on a map projection, like plotting on the backside of a sphere.
