Hi all,
something fishy is going on with hyphenation patterns for German in mkiv. Here's a minimal test file:
\starttext
{\de \hyphenatedword{sich}}
\stoptext
please compile with mkii and mkiv and see the difference. The word should of course not be hyphenated. so th epatterns are not good enough for lefthyphenmin=2
we can set (for de) ...
\c!lefthyphenmin=3, \c!righthyphenmin=3,
is that ok then?
It would help in this particular case, but in general, a hyphenation such as "al-le" ist correct, so left|righthyphenmin=2 is OK. I suspect the error is not in lefthyphenmin and righthyphenmin, but in the patterns themselves. Which patterns does mkiv actually use, and how have they been produced?
i don't know; maybe do some experiments with mkii versus mkiv and different hyphenmin settings to see what happens 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
