I imagine that installing the correct fonts will get rid of the first three 
warnings, but I don't know how to do that or where to get the fonts for pdf. 
The may be standard fonts/locations, but I'm not sure.

I looked for the overflow, but couldn't find it.  I would have thought it might 
have been one of the boot or udev scripts, but I didn't spot the problem.  You 
might look at the lfs-pdf.fo and see if you can get to block 1824.  I think that 
1pt == 1000mpt == 1/72 inch so we are looking at 43.2 pts or about a half inch.
