It unattractive, but supplying YSIZE to widget_label() works in
windows. The trouble is the UNITS
keyword doesn't offer lines as an option, just pixels, centimeters,
and inches.

I'm probably not much help, but I tried string([13b,10b]) and it
didn't work.
I also tried: format='(%"%s\r%s\r%s\r%s\r%s\r%s\r")', but it doesn't
work either (neither do \n,\f, nor \v).

For what it's worth, WIDGET_INFO's STRING_SIZE keyword will return the
width and height of a string using either the widget's font or a
specified font. The widget's padding is not included, but
ascending/descending should be.
