My fear is that there could be some tiny difference in that reimplementation of hyphenation algorithm. Most words hyphenate properly and equally in both engines. This is the first counter-example that I have seen. But that might be something for Taco to check.

To be honest: this is something that has been bugging me for quite a while, I just took some time to realize what the problem was. In all my texts, the letters "ch" get hyphenated at the end, and many German adjectives end in "ch" (see "lich" in Hans's example). What I don't understand: doesn't mkiv/luatex use the same patterns that XeTeX uses? Then why the deuce does it show different hyphenation? For German users, this is pretty serious, a hyphenation like "niedli-ch" is really bad and neither in traditional nor modernized German spelling. Thomas
