[Bug 942539] Re: Ubiquity desktop icon text looks messy

[Stéphane Graber]

non-ASCII period would work as a workaround, though it indeed looks a
bit weird and might change quite a bit depending on the font, so might
be problematic with the languages using a non-ubuntu font.

The problem with \n although supported (thanks for that I didn't know)
is with translations, you can't assume that putting a \n before the
version number will always be right as you might get a language where
the version number comes before the "Install Ubuntu" part.

Anyway, this bug should definitely be fixed in nautilus/pango/gtk (or
wherever it's) :)

Title:
  Ubiquity desktop icon text looks messy

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On a live CD/USB of Ubuntu the icon for Ubiquity looks like this:-

  "Install Ubuntu 12.
              04 LTS"

  (with the 04 LTS on the second line, and centred).

  It would look more pretty like this:-

  "Install Ubuntu
      12.04 LTS"

  Can we add a soft carriage return in there, or some other way to make
  it look less disjointed?
