"Odd numbers represent an acceptable location for a hyphen, with higher values overriding lower inhibiting values. . .Due to a bug currently patterns with values of 8 and greater don't have an effect, so don't wonder." (from http://xml.apache.org/fop/hyphenation.html)
This leads me to believe that I should be using 7. With 7 or with 1 (and no other 1's), it still breaks: Frap- ples,Robert(Age- ncy) I also tried setting this in my {src-dir}/src/hyph/en.xml and recompiling fop.jar. Still no luck. Later on (probably tomorrow) I'll attach an example xml,xsl,en.xml snippet. On Tue, 14 Dec 2004 18:54:46 +0100, Andreas L.
