In that event, you can label the text buttons like this:
      <button>
        <halpin>"checkbutton1"</halpin>
        <text>"CamSW"</text>
        <font>('Hack',12)</font>
      </button>
For a different font.

I'd assume <color>('green') might work, but haven't tried it since it 
cannot be changed with the halpin state. Then it would be useful to 
report status w/o having the put an led underline under it for state. 
That would save a considerable acreage in screen real estate if it were 
possible on an already busy linuxcnc gui. IMO the enforced blank space 
around text is also a huge waster of screen real estate.

You can find some tut's on doing all this in the linuxcnc 
Documentation.pdf, downloadable from linuxcnc.org, in my version 
starting on page 366. Under "pyvcp" If you know of others, plz advise.
