1. FntWordWrap does lots of special stuff that's really only
appropriate for text in a field. So I'd only use it if I needed to
draw multi-line static text.
2. Otherwise, calling WinDrawTruncChars is the easiest way to draw
truncated text with a terminating ellipsis character. You can use
WinGlueDrawTruncChars in the PalmOSGlue library if you need pre-3.1
compatibility.
