How to set character cap on mq2chatwnd?

[runx]

Currently, mq2chatwnd keeps all the text message that send to its window. Overtime, it slows down both EQ and the MQ program. Are there a way to delete old text automatically? The main chat window do not keep the old text messages.

I'm aware of the /plugin ...unload command for mq2chatwnd, but it isn't effecient. I am thinking of changing some .ini file to set the cap on the text storage on the mq2chatwnd. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

- MQ2ChatWnd (the MQ2 Chat Window support) got some upgrades.  First of all the window was not 
  limiting the size of its scrollback, so after so much went on in the MQ2 window, your framerate 
  would drop like a rock.  To achieve proper scrollback limiting without lagging you too much, 
  I put in a system to make it buffer the chat that goes to it, and only display so many lines 
  per frame.  The MQ2ChatWnd font size option now works somewhat...  The font sizes are not the 
  same as EQ's chat window sizes yet, so be aware of that.  I'll work on it   You will probably 
  want somewhere from -3 to 2.  /mqfont <#>
