Simon, even if your instructions didn't work, you helped me to get it finally working!

I added these lines to my /usr/bin/fop script, but even after successfully exporting FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH to the correct location, FOP still couldn't find the patterns. But your patch led me to inspect the /usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh script, where I discovered that I could use JAVA_CLASSPATH instead. Thus, the following lines finally DO WORK as expected: $ export JAVA_CLASSPATH=$JAVA_CLASSPATH:/home/work/hyphenation/fop-hyph.jar $ fop source.fo result.pdf I don't know if this is "elegant", safe, or recommended practice. But it does the job perfectly for me, as I use FOP exclusively from command-line and bash scripts, and don't need to launch from any menus. Since I am currently in contact with the Ubuntu packager, I will tell him the results. Thank you very much, Simon!
