I have an overfull box in a French text which looks like this:
The sequence at the end of the line is:
d'Ananias~: \og Vous
"Vous" cannot be hyphenated and \og
inserts a non-secable space, so the only place where it could be cut is after the colon.
I'm using XeTeX with microtype (2.5 beta6 for XeTeX support). How can I fix this overfull box?
Do I have to allow lines to stretch more (and how)?

The link Overfull gives "More satisfactory is to make small changes to
\tolerance
, incrementally, and then to look to see how the change affects the result; very small increases can often do what’s necessary."With![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/USZxH.png)
