WordWrap revisited

I am sorry I did not follow this up earlier because it is a
problem:

Imagine a sentence; "Every night Fred Flintstone goes for a
walk with his wife"

(sorry, a bit silly)

Now, if that is put into a Field which is narrower than the
sentence it will Wrap properly:

Every night Fred
Flintstone goes for
a walk with his
wife

However, if the same sentence were translated into
Bulgarian (this is the 'other' language I work with) it
would do this:

Every night Fred
Flintstone goes f
or a walk with hi
s wife

this is because Cyrillic script encoded in the second ASCII
table of standard Truetype fonts and somewhere 'funny' in
Unicode fonts.  It is especially disturbing because Slavic
languages (such as Bulgarian) have LONG, POLYSYLLABIC word
that look awful if they are conyinually chopped up.
