While preparing a paper, I came across a (non?)feature of LaTeX which I
cannot correct. Consider the portion of sentence which lies across 2 lines
on the output page:

                                ... aimed at boundary and
            region detection respectively. ...           ^
		   ^                                             |
		   |                                       right margin
      left margin

I had "{\em boundary and region detection\/}" in my source file. By chance,
these 4 words were split into 2 different lines and this resulted in the
slant of the character `d' overflowing into the right margin space of the page.

Does LaTeX have a way of dealing with this problem, or do I have to rephrase
my sentence and prevent it explicitly? Any help is greatly appreciated.
