Problem with long text string in button.

I have to make buttons with long text strings. That's because base language is latvian, and there is no short meaning of these titles. I try to design my buttons in CorelDraw 9, but in result I get eather unreadable text or too big button.
Question - how to keep button as small as possible, and text readable? Maybe some sort of fonts or else?

Well, the only solution I could possibly see is turn anti-aliasing off... anti-aliasing blurs the text a little to make it appear smoother. But if you're trying to fit a lot into a little bit of space, you might try turning this off to make it more readable.

Good luck.

...and if you make the text slightly smaller how does it look?

Well actually, if I reduce them little bit text becomes unreadable. But anyway, that what I got is better than it was.
Thank you all folks, who helped me with that problem! You are great guys.
