Make sure you're separating the issues here...the bug in question involved "hard" hyphens and forward slashes (already present in the text) like "vice-versa" and "and/or". This is what was fixed. Regular hyphenation, i.e., breaking up of unhyphenated words I guess is after the above types of processing are done. I'm not familiar that much with hyphenation yet. > Points to discuss: > - JDK 1.4 has a java.text.BreakIterator, which > implements UTR14, or > at least the parts releant for western languages > (can't see them > dealing with Thai properly). Probably more than just Western, here's a Japanese description: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/ja/docs/ja/api/java/text/BreakIterator.html BreakIterator has a function getAvailableLocales() that lists all languages they support. We would probably be OK with just supporting the languages that Sun supports. > The questions > + Can somebody verify this class is already > available in JDK 1.3? Yes. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html > + Can this class really be leveraged? Again, I don't know the code, but it may be a good idea. Anything that is based on Sun Java code (and an official standard like UTR14) probably makes our life much easier--anyone has a complaint about the hyphenation decisions can go complain to Sun about them!
