Hi all,
I have recently installed Ubuntu 14.04, which includes XeTeX v.
3.14159265-2.6-0.99991 (TeX Live 2014/Debian) and noticed that
compiling my current project produces some incorrect line breaks.
My investigations have shown that XeTeX seems to ignore the current
\widowpenalty value (\clubpenalty is respected though). Here's a
minimal example (lipsum paragraphs are selected so that the desired
number of lines is produced):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\widowpenalty=10000
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-4]
\lipsum[37]
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}
As you are using XeLaTeX and not XeTeX, the problem may well be caused
by the former; try moving your \widowpenalty to /after/ \begin
{document}, since the average LaTeX user has absolutely idea what takes
place during the parsing and execution of the latter.
