Bryce,
If your labels are just strings then why use Graphics and Text to display
them?
labels = {"Bill", "Susan"};
DynamicModule[{selected},
TabView[Table[
With[{i = i},
Style[labels[[i]],
FontWeight ->
Dynamic[If[i === selected, Bold, Plain]]] -> ("Hello " <>
labels[[i]] <> "!")], {i, Length[labels]}], Dynamic[selected]]]
But if you want to use Graphics then use the ImageSize Option to control the
size.
labels = {"Bill", "Susan"};
DynamicModule[{selected},
TabView[Table[
With[{i = i},
Graphics[
Style[Text[labels[[i]]],
FontWeight -> Dynamic[If[i === selected, Bold, Plain]]],
ImageSize -> 25,
PlotRangePadding -> .5] -> ("Hello " <> labels[[i]] <>
"!")], {i, Length[labels]}], Dynamic[selected]]]

It seems that you can't set the LabelStyle of individual tabs in a TabView.
Starting with the example in my TabView->Examples->Scope->Control
documentation, I got to:
labels = {"Bill", "Susan"};
DynamicModule[
{selected},
TabView[
Table[
With[
{i = i},
Graphics[
Style[
Text[labels[[i]]],
FontWeight -> Dynamic[
If[i === selected,
Bold,
Plain
]
]
],
ImageSize -> All,
PlotRangePadding -> .5
] -> ("Hello " <> labels[[i]] <> "!")
],
{i, Length[labels]}
],
Dynamic[selected]
]
]
This manages to bold the selected tab, but ImageSize -> All isn't limiting
itself to the size of the Text[], and I'm not sure how to limit the
resulting tab size to only that required for the text display...
