T.14.4 and T.14.5 of the WebCGM 2.1 profile specify the maximum lengths of graphical and non-graphical text strings respectively. Unfortunately, the limits are given in bytes. This unfairly penalizes users who choose UTF-16 character encoding for their text strings. Their limit is half the number of characters that a user choosing ISO Latin1 gets. An example of the impact this has is in the Metafile Description. Our software does not output a Date substring if the user chooses UTF-16 character encoding for non-graphical text strings because doing so would violate the (byte) limit specified in T.14.5.
