We have the following questions about the athena widgets:

1 ****** We experience difficulties controlling which font is used by
the label widget.

We are using ... .font:  fg-20
             ... .label: Text To Be In Label.

It seems that those "fixed text" labels for which the text is from the
app-defaults file do use the given font but if the text of the label
is supplied from within the program, e.g.  the current date, it uses
some default font and is independent of whether the ... .label: Text
was supplied in the file or not.

2 ****** We wanted to put two lines of text into a command widget so it
would not be as wide but perhaps a little taller.  Label widget is
advertised to be one line only but command does not say so.

Has anybody ever succeeded in doing multiline command button?
Do you remember how you tricked it to break the line?
If so, please take a moment and reply either to xpert or to:
