Hi all, I'm not getting any hyphenation at all. The language is set to English, and I've tried going from aspell to ispell, and to British etc. But to no avail. So, I started another document for the sole purposes of testing, and filled it with some nonsense. Only default options: the same problem again. With your permission I include the latex logfile from the testing document.
Questions is: what's going wrong?
