[OS X TeX] Too many Underfull \hbox warnings?

[Michael Welsh]

Actually, it's a little more complex than that (I think). You need to keep the different theorem styles in different blocks. Here's my header, as an example:

\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
\newtheorem{lemma}[thm]{Lemma}
\newtheorem{result}[thm]{Result}
\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}
\newtheorem{prop}[thm]{Proposition}
\newtheorem{lies}[thm]{LIES!!!!!!!}
\newtheorem{conj}[thm]{Conjecture}
\newtheorem{sub}{Sublemma}[thm]

\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{dfn}[thm]{Definition}
\newtheorem{ex}{Example}
\newtheorem{yom}{yomcat Note}

The actual body of the definition actually follows the closing «\end{defn}» part in order to avoid the annoying (to me) use of an italic font in the body of the definition.
