All,
German orthography is a mess right now, we now have two sets of
rules, old and new. New hyphenation is ugly and rules are constantly
changing. I see that ConTeXt has lang-deo.pat, so I was hoping that
this would produce "old" patterns, but it doesn't seem to work:
\enableregime[utf]
\mainlanguage[deo]
\starttext
\showhyphens{gestorben}
\showhyphens{Bierdeckel}
\showhyphens{�u�erst}
\stoptext
gives me:
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 8--8
[] \*10ptrmtf* ge-stor-ben
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 10--10
[] \*10ptrmtf* Bier-de-ckel
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 12--12
[] \*10ptrmtf* �u-�erst
which is identical to \mainlanguage[de]. Patterns should be Bierdek-
kel and �us-serst. Am I missing something, how can I enable "old"
patterns?
(I assume that you loaded the patterns, i.e. texexec --make --all)
hard to see; for ck to become k-k you need this active " mess:
\usetypescript[modern][ec]
\setupbodyfont[modern,11pt]
\mainlanguage[deo]
\hyphenation{Bier-de-ckel}
\starttext
\number\normallanguage
\hyphenatedword{gestorben}
\hyphenatedword{Bierdeckel}
\hyphenatedword{Bierde"ckel}
\stoptext
