Many thanks for the reply. I found those settings on the Net yesterday
and yes, they do fix the problem. I didn't know about microtype but I
will load that as well.

Incidentally, apologies to the list for inadvertently hijacking this
thread - I'd meant to start a new one.

Microtype does some micro-typographic polishment, most notably margin 
kerning and font expansion. These generally lead to a better inline-harmony 
and thus often avoid overfull lines.

Quoting from http://tug.org/TUGboat/tb22-3/tb72thanh.pdf

Margin kerning is the technique to move the characters slightly out to the 
margins of a text block in order to make the margins look straight. Without
margin kerning, certain characters when ending up at the margins can cause the 
optical illusion that the margins look rather ragged. Margin kerning is 
similar to hanging punctuation, but it can also be applied to other characters 
as well. When used with appropriate settings, this extension can help to
considerably improve appearance of a text block.
Font expansion is the technique to use a slightly wider or narrower variant of 
a font to make inter-word spacing more even. A font that can be expanded thus 
has some ”stretchability” and ”shrinkability”. The potentiality to make a font 
wider or narrow then can be used by the line-breaking engine to choose better 
breakpoints.

Increasing font size upsets justification

2013-10-11 Thread Anthony Campbell
I have completed a book in Book class using Palatino at 10pts. If I
increase the font to 11pts this causes occasional lines to project too
far toe the right by a few characters.

AI can fix this manually but it's annoying. I thought it might be
because I had hyphenpenalty set to 600 but turning it off makes no
difference.

Is this the expected behaviour? Can anything be done about it?
