some of the lines have holes like here

I have the following settings, to avoid lines longer then the rest of the paragraph
\pretolerance=10000
\tolerance=10000

is my problem linked to theses settings ?

Thank

Hi Maok,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
Yes, those settings could lead to problems. To cite from the UK TeX FAQ: For both, an â€œinfiniteâ€ tolerance is represented by the value 10000, but infinite tolerance is rarely appropriate, since it can lead to very bad line breaks indeed.

I would'nt recommend to change those settings that way. I would solve the problem of occuring overfull lines by another way, for instance improving hyphenation. You could show us a minimal working example, then we would help you to improve it.

Stefan

in fact, it is now working correctly, this "bug" occured only when i cited some papers, it was a probleme in the bibliographic style i used

anyway, when i'll be finished with writing my phd i'll search for the optimal parameters for the tolarence

thanks
