The number of characters is bounded memory and processor addressing,  
so is effectively larger than what you need.  The number of  
characters per line is limited to about 64K.  That is found from the  
limits documentation.  The number of pixels per line after any  
wrapping is limited to about 32K, even if the field is not that  
wide.  The last one might be old; I haven't checked that on 2.6.1.   
It might turn out that the 64K limit per line assumes 8-bit  
characters and might be less for Unicode.

Is that what you are looking for?
