Overfull \hbox query

Overfull \hbox query

[Alan Bowen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 795 bytes --]

I have been processing a number of files using the same environment  
file. Each time, early in the log file I get the very same message:
...
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex)
Overfull \hbox (13.2pt too wide) detected at line 63
[]
system          : module ancientgreek loaded
(/Users/acbowen/Library/texmf/tex/context/third/greek/t-ancientgreek.tex
loading         : module ancientgreek
...

The problem is that I can see no evidence in the document of an  
overfull \hbox. Moreover, if I change the font from SIL-Gentium to  
Latin Modern, the message goes away, though it returns once more if I  
use GFSDidot say (only the line number differs).

Can anyone explain what is happening or suggest how I may proceed to  
determine what is happening and why?

Alan

if you don't see a problem, just ignore it; it all depends on how overfull 

\dontcomplain

Thanks, Hans. I will put this aside: as they say, “Sufficient unto  
the day is the evil thereof”.

Best, Alan
