The "re-write the sentence" solution occurred to me, but I just couldn't see a 
way. Thanks for the other suggestions. Inserting a hyphen woulda been nice. 
Unfortunately the word in question is the possessive of a short 
one-syllabal-ish name, and it was the "'s" that was outside the margin. 

I think I like the font I ended up with, but I'll give the other options you 
suggest just for education-about-latex purposes.

Thanks again,
