Truncated desktop icon labels

IconX shortens some icon labels

from Stardock Forums
Some of my desktop icon labels have been cut short and an elipsis (the three dots) added to the end. There doesn't seem to be any consistency. I've one with the label "Reason" which becomes "Reas..." yet I've another labelled "Remote Access User Guide.pdf" whic displays fully over 2 lines. My recycle bin is labelled "Recycle B..." yet "My Network Places" is displayed in full on a single line.    Any thoughts?

FatboyJim: Unfortunately I'm unaware of a fix for this other than changing the font size for each of the icon states. I'm contacting the development team to see if there's a way to implement a fix for this and if not, it will be submitted as a feature request.

Thank you,

Mike: FYI changing the font size makes no difference to the contents of the labels. However! Changing the font itself does. I've not tried every font I have, but it looks like the only one that's giving me the problem is Calibri, which came packaged with the Alysseum skin for WindowBlinds. It says it's a genuine Microsoft font. This might give the development team a chance to recreate the issue. Typically tho' my "font of the moment" happens to be the one that doesn't work!!! Ah well, back to Century Gothic for a while!
