I have noticed (as no doubt everyone else has ) that java truncates a
button's label ( ie a few characters then ... ) when the button gets to a
small enough size.

You may also have noticed that button text is shortened even though there is
often plenty of room for the whole text to fit on the button.

I am guessing that each button has some type of insets or something so that
the text always starts/ends at least X pixels from the edge. Does anyone
know how to change the default behaviour so that java is more forgiving when
it tries to display the text for a button - this is really driving me crazy.
