My experience is that with the below penalty changes, such overfull boxes never appear: \tolerance 1414 \hbadness 1414 \emergencystretch 1.5em \hfuzz 0.3pt Furthermore \usepackage{microtype} helps. The downside might be some more undefull boxes, but in general, the result here looks quite good, even with German, a notoriously difficult language when it comes to hyphenation.
