the greek conversions were done with the help of a greek language users on the context list, so in case of troubles, so i cc there; bugs need to be fixed indeed

Thanks for the tips. I have taken a closer look at the Greek patterns, and it seems as though they have not only small problems, but also major problems. (They will fail to find most hyphenation points before accented vowels.) I will try to come up with a patch, but I don't know any Ruby, so it will be an interesting challenge -- the changes required go beyond tweaking the existing code.

The characters in the file lang-agr.pat are precomposed, Unicode normalization form D. But I'd like to support both normalization forms C and D, if possible, in the same pattern file. Is that goal compatible with Context?

this is more related to (xe)tex than to context; i leave that to the greek experts on the context list Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
