uibase.cpp has this:
```
m_staticTextMain = new wxStaticText( this, wxID_ANY, _("[...]
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the \n 
OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/) and cryptographic software written by \n
Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com) and UPnP software written by Thomas Bernard."),[...]
```
but in the about dialog I only see 2 of the 3 lines of text. The first line has the last word, "the", wrapped onto the 2nd line, which contains only that word. The 3rd displayed line is the "OpenSSL ... by" line, and the "Eric ... Bernard" line isn't displayed at all.

I'll see if I can attach a screenshot.

This is in Ubuntu 11.04 running the XFCE4 desktop environment and bitcoin 0.3.24-beta

It's still an issue in the git version tagged with 'v0.4.00rc1'.

Should be a bug with default font size causing the set text to overflow the set window size. Try changing your default font size. Bitcoin should adapt here, but...

I bet this is all better in bitcoin-qt. Closing.
