How to install hyphenation patterns in FOP?
Hi, everyone! Since a few days, I am trying to install the OFFO hyphenation patterns in my FOP install, but I've failed miserably, so far. I guess, I am missing just a tiny little detail, because It seems like I've really tried everything. (Please see details below.) So my question is: In order to use hyphenation with the FOP processor, what files do I have to install, and how do I tell FOP where they are installed? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks! - Jerzy DETAILS: == My system: * Operating system: Xubuntu 9.06 Jaunty Jackalope. * Out-of-the-box kernel: linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic (ix86) * FOP from the Xubuntu repository: 1:0.95.dfsg-2ubuntu1 * Both Sun Java and GCJ seem to be installed, so I am not sure which one is running.

The documentation also tells me to install the 'fop-hyph.jar' in a lib directory of the your FOP installation or in a build directory of the your FOP installation. But I can't find such directories. (I don't know enough about Java to understand what/where they are.) Since the documentation also mentions a 'hyphenation-base' configuration parameter, I tried putting absolute and relative paths to 'fop-hyph.jar' and 'hyphenation' in a '/home/work/hyphenation/fop.xconf' file. But I only got huge error messages. I also downloaded the 'offo-hyphenation_v1.2.zip' archive from Sourceforge, and tried to point the 'hyphenation-base' parameter to the 'en.xml' and 'es.xml' files, but FOP complained about missing '*.hyp' files (whatever these might be).

Re: How to install hyphenation patterns in FOP?
Hi, You should just need fop-hyph.jar which you can get from http://offo.sourceforge.net/hyphenation/fop-stable/installation.html The installation just involves putting this in the lib directory and the fop command will place it in the classpath. Also, make sure that the build.properties (or build-local.properties) does not declare the user.hyph.dir property - you may have uncommented this declaration whilst trying to get things working.

Re: How to install hyphenation patterns in FOP?
Dear Peter, thank you very much for your reply! You should just need fop-hyph.jar which you can get from http://offo.sourceforge.net/hyphenation/fop-stable/installation.html OK, this is the file I have mainly been working with, so I should be on the right track here. The installation just involves putting this in the lib directory Sadly (as I explained in my first mail) I can't find this directory in my PC. I searched for any java/lib, or lib/java or lib/fop or fop/lib directories without success. and the fop command will place it in the classpath. OK, that's great, once I know which is the lib directory. Also, make sure that the build.properties (or build-local.properties) does not declare the user.hyph.dir property - you may have uncommented this declaration whilst trying to get things working. I guess, these build.properties would apply for people who compile their stuff, but as explained, I installed directly from the Ubuntu repository. So it seems, the only thing I am missing here is the location of the lib directory? Just in case, I post the content of the fop script below. Maybe this helps.

Alternatively, you may start fop as: FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH=/usr/local/lib/java/fop-hyph.jar fop args... You may wish to raise a bug report to Ubuntu, because apparently they failed to copy these additional lines from Debian. I am not sure how I should add this to the OFFO installation instructions, because it is so Debian and Ubuntu specific.
