I can't make the font any larger, or the text will flow outside of the widget. If I make the widget bigger, everyone yells at me that the button is too large.

I'm all about solutions, but I honestly don't have one that I can think of atm for that particular problem.
Well, as far as solutions go, the problem may be in the fonts itself. Here is a screen shot of an icehud/kgpanels ui I built which uses some very small fonts but they are quite readable. It uses tekticles.

The Blizz built in fonts are not very good.
