There are 72 points in an inch so anything reported as over 72
points too wide will probably not fit on the printed page (assuming
one inch margins). To find the <ACRONYM

causing the overflow, find the first page number mentioned above
the overflow message, e.g. <TT

look at the page after that (e.g. page 51) in the <ACRONYM
