Hi,
has \zwnj (or the equivalent unicode character) bad consequences for
hyphenation? Like, when you'd preprocess your files and add \zwnj in
appropriate places, will that break hyphenation for these words?
So, this:
\mainlanguage[nl]
\startexceptions[nl]
wis-kun-d{e-}{o}{eo}(e-o)n-der-wijs
\stopexceptions
wiskundeonderwijs
\hsize 1mm
wiskundeonderwijs
results in
wiskunde-onderwijs
wis-
kun-
de-
on-
der-
wijs
with proper kerning and ligatures when applicable and
\startexceptions[nl]
wis-kun-d{e-}{o}{eo}(e\zwj o)n-der-wijs
\stopexceptions
will do the same but no compound dash. It's actually mostly a matter of
communicating with the font handler (without hard coding solutions in
the engine).
As a side effect (teaser) you can do this in the upcoming lmtx:
\definefontfeature[whatever][default][mode=base]
\definefont[myfont][Serif*whatever]
{\myfont test effe every}\quad
{ test effe every}\par
{\myfont \nokerning test effe every}\quad
{ \nokerning test effe every}\par
{\myfont \noligaturing test effe every}\quad
{ \noligaturing test effe every}\par
{\myfont test effe e{\nokerning v}ery}\quad
{ test effe e{\nokerning v}ery}\par
with \nokerning and \noligaturing being macros that set some options
(the old \noligs and \nokerns have therefore been dropped) ... so one
has local control over matters (base mode and node mode).
one can even control left/right kerning/ligaturing this way but that's
something to be explained in some article or at some user meeting or so
(after all i occasionally need something new to tell)
so, in the end all you have to do is come up with a list of exceptions
