Is it possible for a capi:push-button to display its text on more than 
one line?

(capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:button
                             :text (format nil "line1~%line2")))

worked for me.

Getting it to word-wrap all by itself could be a challenge.  :)  Is
that what you meant?

Give the font argument to the layout:

  (let ((object (make-instance 'capi:item-pinboard-object
                               :text "testing"
                               :graphics-args '(:foreground :red 
                                                :background :green))))
    (capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:simple-pinboard-layout
                                 :font (gp:make-font-description :family "arial"
                                                                 :size 24
                                                                 :weight :bold)
                                 :description (list object))))

That doesn't count because you're using internal knowledge... )

Seriously - what does that function do and what is it good for?  I
couldn't find it in the documentation?

Thanks,
