I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am trying to
create hyphenation rules for a UTF-8 language (Khmer). I've tried
patgen, but I can't get it to work (some have said it doesn't
support UTF-8?).
I would like to use the output for Hunspell as well as Tex.
I've asked

My programming abilities are quite limited and I realize there
aren't many people who need to make hyphenation dictionaries, hence
the lack of good Unicode support. But would someone be willing to
