overlapping UI elements

SUMMARY

Kickoff's UI elements overlap when UI language is set to language whose typography does not size similarly to English; i.e. w/ Arabic.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change the UI language to Arabic
2. (optionally: change the UI font to a font specifically designed for use w/ Arabic)
3. Open Kickoff

OBSERVED RESULT
Overlapping UI elements

EXPECTED RESULT
UI elements do not overlap

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Kickoff makes a lot of Latin-centric assumptions in its code, such as sample text strings used to calculate cell sizes.
