Text Formatting ⇒ \neg causes overfull \hbox

[Gulzt]

Whenever I use the \neg command I get this badbox warning:
Overfull \hbox (6.03711pt too wide) in paragraph

For example, this code works fine:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, dutch]{report} % to allow chapter tags
\usepackage{mathtools} % use the floor and ceil operators.
\usepackage{amsmath} % use of the case function
\begin{document}
\[
   U
\]
\end{document}

But this causes an error:

Code: Select all

\[
   \neg U
\]

What can I do to remove the badbox error?

Placing the \neg in an inline math function like so: $\neg U$ works fine however. Though this is not what I seek for in this case. The full function I am writing down is much too big for that.

Badbox warning are worth looking into matter more deeply, but they are not errors.
Your example cannot give the warning, it is simply impossible. A box is overfull if the contents is spilling over the boxes edges, for example the content of a line into the margin.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, dutch]{report}
\usepackage{mathtools}% already loads amsmath
\begin{document}
\[
	\neg U
\]
\end{document}

Please read about minimal working examples and provide one to use, so we can reproduce that part of your document and give spot-on advice.

Same for me - no error, no warning.

Please post a minimal example which produces the problem. This may include your whole function and your margin settings, or your complete preamble. Post a complete problem example, which shows the problem but anything unrelated can be removed. And click on Johannes' link.
