New issue 1691 by [email protected]: Ugly bars in PDF documents
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1691
In the documentation build it's common to see an error message
beginning "Overfull \hbox".
Looking on the web for what this means, I found
http://docs.freebsd.org/info/texinfo/texinfo.info.Overfull_hboxes.html
which says:
"TeX is sometimes unable to typeset a line without extending it into the
right margin."... "unless told otherwise, TeX will print a large, ugly,
black rectangle beside the line that contains the overfull hbox."
There are quite a few of these in, say, the 2.14.0 NR - see the PDF page 33
and 37 for example.
It would seem there are 2 options: either fix the text/diagram sizes, or
compile as suggested in the page above:
"To prevent such a monstrosity from marring your final printout, write the
following in the beginning of the Texinfo file on a line of its own, before
the `@titlepage' command:"
@finalout
The current consensus is that it would be better to start by looking at
correcting the documentation to get the text correctly sized.
Issue 1015 is related to this.
