[XeTeX] `tolerance for underfull \hbox' was `xelatex problem after new 2003 setup'

[Jon Breitenbucher]

All,

I found that the following worked in the preamble

\tolerance 1414
\hbadness=1414
\emergencystretch 1.5em
\hfuzz=.03pt
\widowpenalty=10000
\vfuzz \hfuzz

I have not had any problems with documents using this. However, I would 
like to know why some of us experience this and others don't. I am 
especially curious since I didn't used to have this problem, but now I 
do. What brought it about...?
