[Dev-luatex] luatex and hyphenation patterns

[Norbert Preining]

Hi all!

One user of Debian wanted to build a luatex based latex format (he
wanted to test some examples from the luatex.org documentation slides,
using the old \lua{...} code, anyway).

Unfortunaltely this will not work in any way because there are so many
hyphenation patterns using non-ascii and non-utf8 content. All those of
course break.

Is there any suggested way how to cope with this?

Best wishes

Norbert
