I use \documentclass{scrbook}
along with \usepackage{microtype}
and \usepackage{hyphenat}
[adding new words as necessary] for superior typesetting.
During edits, I see overfull boxes in the Draft Edition, then I reword or add new hyphenated breaks to my dictionary, until everything is perfect. Some of my documents are book length, so I have many pages to check. And since the text columns are more narrow than default size, I expect more overfull boxes.
Once I'm done with error correcting, and I typeset a long document for Final Edition, I use \sloppy
since it never reduces the quality of paragraphs that would have been typeset correctly using \fussy
, and it assures that I have zero overfull boxes in the Final Edition.
So, as "Best Practice", I always use \fussy
for draft documents, but only until error checking is done, then at very end of drafting I use \sloppy
for a "best quality possible" Final Edition.
I hate to hear fussy complaints, so I use sloppy. But I hate to be sloppy, so I'm asking here if this is really a Best Practice?
