The only way that I could see the text being able to get truncated is  
if wx is returning the wrong values for the font metrics, as the size  
of the button is based off of size of the bitmap+text width+padding  
on both ends and inbetween. I tried with a few different fonts on my  
machine and couldn't reproduce this problem. I have noticed a problem  
in the past with the text extents returning an incorrect width for  
double width characters such as Japanese/Chinese/ect.. Anyone else  
have experience with font measuring issues like this?

Do you know what font is being used, or add 'print tbtn.GetFont 
().GetFaceName()' to the demo script after the button is made and see  
what it says.

What platform are you running under (mac/gtk/msw)?
