Hello all, I just came across this library: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hunspell/files/Hyphen/ Which seems to be the last iteration of libhj, and is currently used by OpenOffice/LibreOffice. It seems to have some interesting feature over the original hyphenation algorithm, namely support for "non-standard hyphenation; `discretionary' character changes at hyphenation points" and "compound word hyphenation and special rules of compound word hyphenation of German languages and other languages with arbitrary number of compound words." I recall reading about something related to German hyphenation planned for luatex, so I sought this might be of some interest here. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab
