I've received several requests for multi-line markers in my
StyledMarker library. The problem is that I'm entirely constrained by
the Google Charts API as that is how the custom images are created.

Now, multi-lined bubbles are possible with the Charts API, but the
issue is that the first line is treated as a heading so it's bolded,
while the rest of the lines are normal font weight. I could just
implement multi-line and be forced to say "the first line will always
be bold", but I'd really hate to have to do that. To show what I'm
talking about: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/docs/gallery/dynamic_icons.html#bubbles

Should I ignore the requests for multi-line? Should I go ahead and
implement multi-line and make people live with the bolded first line?

Any Google employees here know the Charts API people? Do you know why
there's no ability to create a bubble with non-bolded first lines? And
is there a possibility of that changing/how could I request such a
change?

Hey Gabe,

You could ask your last question over at the Charts API group:

My opinion is KISS: Keep it simple, stupid!
