Re: Hyphenation patterns included in fop-0.20.5rc2
Thanks for the quick response. Can this information be added to the release notes and/or readme? I see that en_GB.xml exists but what's the story on what I would assume would be called en_US.xml (US English hyphenation patterns file)? Does it exist? Is it missing due to licensing issues? Also, I've searched for filenames & "text" contents in my fop installations (.4 & .5rc2) and I haven't found the hyphenation pattern files. Where are they stored?

FOP version 0.20.5rc2 contains the following hyphenation files: - en_GB.xml: British English - es.xml: Spanish - fi.xml: Finnish - hu.xml: Hungarian - it.xml: Italian - pl.xml: Polish Christian, I'm most uneasy about hu.xml.

Hyphenation patterns included in fop-0.20.5rc2
Esteemed feathery FOPpers, BTW, congrats & stuff on the release! I just ran it, and it didn't give me an error! ;-) Would you let us know which hyphenation files are included with FOP 0.20.5rc2? I think that would be useful information to include in the fop-dev & fop-user mailing lists for archival/searching purposes, and the only reference to what is included is en_GB. It might also be useful to include in the reply, the status of other hyphenation patterns (and links if they exist). I checked out the current installation, and had a tough time finding info on Hyphenation. After doing a search on the fop-0.20.5rc2 directory, I found this file: fop-0.20.5rc2\examples\fo\basic\hyphen.fo Is that example the sum total of the hyphenation stuff in FOP? Or was everything removed (Christian indicated "removal of some hyphenation patterns")? If it's there, then I couldn't find it. If it's not, then the RelNotes should read "most" hyphenation patterns... Thanks for the great effort! It looks *great*!
