I am typesetting a Malayalam book in xelatex. In its final stages, I find that the first column of the index goes beyond the bottom margin on the first page, the second column onwards it is sticking to the margins. I have typeset Malayalam books earlier also in xelatex, but never found such a problem. This makes me wonder why the system behaves badly now. I looked at the question here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/291736/two-column-index-overflow, but my problem is different. That problem was solved by moving a statement from the body to the preamble, but I don't have any such command in the body.
I would be really grateful if anyone can give an idea as to where to look for a solution. Sasi -- V. Sasi Kumar Free Software Foundation of India Blog: https://swatantryam.wordpress.com/ <http://swatantryam.blogspot.com/> Social Media: s...@diasp.in <https://diasp.in/i/8f6761e6031d>
