In what sense was it not properly generated? How did you determin that? > I run update-languages by hand. After that it had > wrong permissions, beacause root has umask 077.

Actually this should not matter as long as root can read the file, since it is only used when format files are created, which is almost only done by root. > But now running latex looks like this: > > This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) > Source specials enabled. > entering extended mode > LaTeX2e <2003/12/01> > Babel <v3.8g> and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang, nohyphenation, > finnish, ukenglish, loaded. > > > Where is that Italian and French? Later I see this: You did not recreate the format files hence the changes to language.dat did not have any effect. > Aargh! What is the canonical way to activate hyphenations and other > language support of desired languages for LaTeX and friends? Normally the texlive-lang-* packages do this automatically. That looks like a bug worth investigating. Otherwise, # update-languages followed by # fmutil-sys --all should regenerate all format files with hyphenation enabled based on the configuration files in /etc/texmf/language.d/. If that does not help, then we will need some more informations for debugging. cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
