Maybe you should try to maximize the window so you can see everything. It put
in your code and I could see more of the title.

I just make sure something is in my window that has such a width that
the tittle will be displayed. ;-)

I did find some references to a method where you first disable the Tkinter title bar using overrideredirect(True). Then you create a new title bar using a frame and canvas. You can then set the font/size for the canvas. I think you could do it with a label but if you want an icon and close (X) button, that could be a problem. IFAIK you can have only one image on a label. -- GNU/Linux user #557453 "I am Lrrr! Ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!

It's been a long time since I needed to do that, and it was a bit of a hassle. I'm not sure how you would make sure it's rendered in the same font as the window title. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

You might try setting a given window geometry
to accomodate the long title
win_w = 400
win_h = 300
ofs_h = 40
ofs_v = 30
window.geometry( "%dx%d+%d+%d" % ( win_w , win_h , ofs_h , ofs_v ) )
Maybe add a bit of extra space for users
with different default font sizes
Not a general solution
but perhaps workable

According to link below, it is not possible...
