New issue 82 by address@hidden: Text overflows in many places,  
especially in translations
http://code.google.com/p/pingus/issues/detail?id=82

Text currently overflows in a lot of places, especially when dealing with  
translations. This problem is caused by a too simplistic text rendering  
systems that can't properly deal with dynamic line breaking and can't scale  
text.

Suggestion on how to fix the issue:

* for one-line-text do not render text directly, but render it to a  
Surface, then scale that Surface to fit into a given max-width

* for multiline text, use wordwarp, if possible also allow scrolling of  
text that is to long

* as preparation for all of this text should be done with proper  
GUI::Components, not low level gc.print_center() hacks
