Unfortunately, we need a fix for the alternative hyphenation of diaeresis on the OpenOffice.org/Writer side: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71608 News about Hyphen 2.4 (integrated for OOo 3.1): http://markmail.org/message/7grelc6xisoxh4hq Hyphen 2.4, the improved hyphenator of OOo 3.1: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143754&package_id=231949 There are several other news about hyphenation. One of the most important, that the serious en_US hyphenation problems of OOo 3.x (also the older issue about the hyphenation and apostrophes) will be fixed in OpenOffice.org 3.1: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90028 Check the attached hyphenation patterns of http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=97403 to handle apostrophes (described in http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23015, http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72996 and http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90028). The hyphenation dialog of OpenOffice.org hasn't supported Unicode and alternative hyphenation yet, but Caolan McNamara just fixed the Unicode problem: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=100273. I have made also a new issue about the missing pattern generator for the new functions of the hyphenator: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=100302. This pattern generator would be an important step in supporting hyphenation tasks of non-English languages.
