Hi John, Your format is probably missing the hyphenation patterns for english (I ran into the same problem last week): # texexec --make en .... language : no patterns en for en (n=1) (lang-en.pat,ukhyph.tex language : no hyphenations en for en (n=1) language : no patterns uk for uk (n=2) (lang-uk.pat,ukhyph.tex language : no hyphenations uk for uk (n=2) John Culleton wrote:
I noted that context seems to be most reluctant to hyphenate. So I ran a test file through plain tex, pdftex and Context and checked the results. Context hyphenated less than the other two.
The manual does not say much about hyphenation. I am using a fresh TeXLive install.

It seems to act as if the hyphenation dictionary weren't here. If I put in a discretionary hyphen Context will use it.
