Currently the text is drawn onto a pixmap. It would need to recreate
this pixmap on a resize of the properties-window.
Wrapping might be possible, but I need to figure out more about pango.
Since it needs to know what the width of a glyph is going to be.

Hmm, that would make an interesting next little coding experiment, and I
would learn a bit more about pango too.
Currently I am working on the 'Install font' contect-menu item, which I
will finish first.

It's a form of elvish... it's the tongue spoken in Mordor. ;-)

I have the dwarvish runes and some other elvish fonts as well.
