How about adding a failsafe test ala \ifdim\dimexpr\wd\plusone+\wd of sentinel\relax>#2\relax \clip[width=\wd\plusone,...]{...#1...}\removeunwantedspaced#3% \else \box\plusone\removeunwantedspaces#3% \fi One (ugly looking) partial character is still better than a bunch of characters, that cross the width border. I have played around with \clip, but it acts a little wild (vertical position and height). Can't subdue it myself...
