Is this the toolbar? If so, I'm not sure what we can do, since it's  
the OS that draws the text in the toolbar. Some OS's offer the  
ability to not display the label at all, just the icons. Tooltips  
provide the user with more information about each tool.

If we have very long toolbar button names and a set limit to the  
width of the toolbar (right now it has to fit in 1024x768 I think),  
then arbitrarily lengthening strings *will* cause tools to be pushed  
off the end, with which some OS's deal better than others.
