The German unit name runs out of its box and nobody sees the end of it

Long words in another language break layouts that looked fine in English. This entry gives your AI a width estimator for text that checks whether a name fits, wraps it into lines, and flags single words that can never fit and need another fix.

Why this works

Letters differ a lot in width, so counting characters misjudges both a row of narrow letters and a row of wide ones. A rough width table is enough to catch the overflow before anyone sees it, in every language you ship.

When not to use it

Skip it when you can measure text with the real font in your game engine. Use the engine's own measure, and keep this only as a stand-in for tests that run without a screen.
