Re: [NTG-context] hyphenation question

Unfortunately, these chaps haven't read their Duden Band 1, Die Deutsche Rechtschreibung. I checked their examples against it and they are quite in error at times. That makes it notoriously difficult to figure out the proper from the improper. So they theoretically could have a good product and asked someone to go cheap on producing the PDF. Goodness knows, you wouldn't believe how many PhD's put their names on stuff that their research beetles really wrote. Still, it reflects poorly and hurts their business. I'd say that if they don't have their act together, let the free market sort it out. I can hyphenate all sorts of languages in Ubuntu just fine.

There's a whole chapter on hyphenation rules for the European languages.

I remember reading that in correct french typo we are not supposed to hypenate before the last « syllable ». If you have no choice, having only two letter is realy « bad ». Olivier.
