I've also been following the French hyphenation thread with some interest; my outputs of all the samples posted so far (with TeXShop 1.34) have unfortunately displayed <A-macron><copyright symbol> for the original <e-aigue>, and the word at the line end doesn't hyphenate (the console reports an overfull \hbox, as I would expect).
I'm very new to *TeX, have always worked with Macs (since OS 7.1), and have essentially no Unix experience, so answers that assume wholesale ignorance will be best appreciated and understood. :-)
Hi, John. As you're on a mac, you're probably cut/pasting from your mail client into your editor of choice (TeXShop? iTeXMac?). Most likely that client is saving your source file in Mac encoding. Therefore, you should be using: \useregime[mac] Instead of win or il1. Hope that solves the A-macron problem, at least. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
