The Cocoa text system knows how much text will fit in a text container and does a very good job of wrapping to the next container. It does not cut off lines of text (most of the time; some extreme fonts such as Zapfino might get clipped ascenders and descenders).
But how? I can't use a single NSTextView because this is for a view where each text view corresponds to a single page of text, and so AFAICT text containers and views must be created manually as the layout manager lays out text.

I already tried that with auto-flush and flashing screen updates on, and it is only drawing partial lines of text, so it's not being cut off by something else that's drawing over it.
