port Unicode fonts.

Large or XtraLarge). To apply a text effect to the button text, click the browse but-
ton (...) to access the Text Effect sub-menu. This sub-menu presents all available
text effects, sorted by type. Click the + symbol next to any effect type in the sub-
menu to see all of the variations on that effect. Once you have selected a text

Use this option to specify whether to wrap text strings that are too long to be dis-
played across the button on one line. Click the down-arrow and select Yes or No
from the drop-down list.
