Screen titles in nav bar can be cut off with some locales

MacBook Air M1 chip

Operating System

Browser
Safari 17.3.1 and Chrome

Problem description
Seen while testing phetsims/qa#1039, the title of the screen name may be cut off slightly. So far I have seen this with locale=kn (Kannada) but will update as I continue testing.

This issue is seen with both safari and Chrome and thus not related to changes made for this MR.

Visuals

It appears in published for Center and Variability but not for Acid Base Solutions with mac + Chrome.

I noticed that some Thai characters could get cut off on the home screen, such as in Waves Intro. However, this seems to happen on Chrome on the published sim so I don't think it is related to this change.

Just to verify, this is more "text goes off the screen, or is blocked by other components", and is more of a layout issue, right?

This looks more like we'll need to make some fine adjustments to how text is handled in both cases. Previous work in #143.

It's a bit complicated, I'll need to get the "accurate" bounds of the text, and only adjust things if they would go off the screen (or overlap).

This is too much of a corner case / hard to fix, we will defer for now. Perhaps if Alpenglow has better textbounds some day.

[jonathanolson]

If relevant, Scenery can now get the improved text bounds (Text.boundsMethod='accurate'), but fine with the defer.

Let's defer. Maybe this would be a nice issue for SceneryStack contributor in the future - perhaps.
