A (very) recent discussion on the TeXworks list included the following extract :
>>> 6) [new] A test file yields (in the log) : >>> >>> Overfull \hbox (0.58942pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 20--20 >>> []\bodyfont brian.smith0...@btinternet.com[] | >>> >>> With "Hide console window" set to either "Automatic" or "On success", >>> this error message disappears; could TeXworks detect the presence of >>> overfull box messages in the log and treat them as errors ? >> >> Whether the console is closed depends solely on the exit status code of >> the process that is doing the typesetting.

Would it be possible to change the behaviour of XeTeX such that it returns a non-zero value when overfull boxen have been generated during the compilation ?
