[Freeciv-Dev] Re: Leader names

Well you could just clip the leader names to fixed length before
displaying them in the client dialog.
Worst case is usually a leader named "WWWWWW the WWth" cause W is a wide letter.

This doesn't resolve the player name for ranking/leader name
discussion, but it would be somewhat annoying if someone likes to play
as Genghis Khan but couldn't because the name was registered by
someone else.
