In spring of this year it was proposed that all hyphenation patterns be removed from fop and only be made available by OFFO. In fact, the same old set is still in xml-fop/src/hyph. Users could put their hyphenation patterns in xml-fop/hyph. The hyphenation target uses this directory. If it is empty, no hyphenation patterns will be compiled. The patterns in xml-fop/src/hyph are not used. hyphenation-jar collects the patterns in xml-fop/build/hyph in a separate jar file, to preserve independence of fop. In fact I offer ready made hyphenation jars in OFFO, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/offo/offo-hyphenation-fop-HEAD.zip?download. Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.nl
