"Realise your documents and presentations freely" string is baddly presented in the french version

[Thibault D]

When installing Oneiric in the french version, at the end of the installation you get a slideshow presenting the new features.

In the french version, the slide
"Realise your documents and presentations freely" (or something like this)
is translated by :
"Réalisez vos documents et présentations librement"
witch is a slightly longer string...

... so "librement" goes to the line and is strangely presented with a smaller font. (see screenshot)

This is not a nice first impression when installing Ubuntu.

This may occur with other languages and on other slides with long titles.

There's not much we can do on the French l10n side. I reckon this string is long, but it can't be shortened without affecting the meaning. So I'd say it's not our work to fix this issue. The software should be able to display this correctly.

[Pierre Slamich (pierre-slamich)]

We can shorten it to "Réalisez documents et présentations librement", but
will it be enough to prevent overflow ?

Yes we could but I don't think it sounds that great and it's definitely not our job to work around such technical problems, especially if they can occur in other languages as well.

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 884807

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
