Well, the various LaTeX hyphenation pattern files are giving me a run for my money: authors think it is a good idea to encode them in binary, regardless of whether we are talking latin-1, T1 or koi8 encodings. What a mess. I started writing to a few of the maintainers... Anyway, in the mean time one can dump LaTeX using the following file named latex.8bit instead: That's just for dumping: I have not actually tried running this format. I don't even know whether the callback survives into the format or not... -- David Kastrup
