problem is that they're issues because mcc must fit into 800x600

some labels are filled with sized texts and are not marked as
wrapp-able.
we should use wrapped labels were needed.

also, some labels look bad with some translations due to wrapping
issues vs manual return caracters.

so i suggest to separate paragraphs by two lines like in LaTeX and let
formatAlaTeX() from MDK::Common do the jobs for us.

filling with paragraphs + auto-wrapping should clear most l10n visual
bugs.
