Overlapping numbers and titles in toc
6,865
The space needed by the section number(s) is too small. Using tocloft this spacing can be controlled by the length register \cftsecnumwidth, adding some value with \addtolength{\cftsecnumwidth}{10pt} will improve the spacing.
The value of 10pt can be changed of course.

barbara beeton about 7 yearspotentiial duplicate: Roman numerals become “too wide” in table of contents. (arabic numerals are no different from roman numerals in this respect.) -
Nichlas H. about 7 years@ChristianHupfer I have added code and a new example screenshot. It looks like the heuristica font/package is causing the issue.
-
Admin about 7 years@NichlasH.: Thanks -- see the (possible) answer please.

-
Nichlas H. about 7 yearsThank you! That will work well into the third and fourth digit chapter numbers (i hope to end the document well before that!). Also thanks for hinting
tocloft, looks like it has some interresting options. -
Admin about 7 years@NichlasH.: You can change the value of 10pt to 'anything' -- as you wish.
-
Nichlas H. about 7 yearsYes, I'll test it out and find what works for my document. I'm sorry that I don't have anough points (yet) to upvote your answer.
-
Admin about 7 years@NichlasH.: That's alright. You can accept it later on anyway ;-)
