Thanks, everyone, for your thoughtful comments on this. I appreciate that the quality of overall hyphenation could be improved by starting afresh -- and it'd be great if someone could make that happen someday -- but my request is much more modest, and I think can be brought about without nearly that much overhead.

Perhaps herein lies the solution I seek. Maybe the English hyphenation patterns could be kept in a master list that includes all letters, including non-ASCII ones, that appear in English words; then this list could be filtered before being fed to classic TeX, so that it sees only the all-ASCII entries? If the entries appear one per line, a single grep command could do this preprocessing. What do you think? _______________________________________________ bug-groff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-groff
