dear pablo,

according to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/office, US
English hyphenation for "office" should be "of-fice",
this is definitely correct.
Well, I tried to check this with ConTeXt and I get "office". I don?t
know whether there is an issue with this.
there are a couple of things involved:
- the english hyphenation patterns
have to be loaded;
- the setting \lefthyphenmin=2 has
to be set.
You are right, Barbara. I was actually testing "LibreOffice" and I get
"Li-bre-Office" when using ConTeXt fonts and "Li-bre-Of-fice" with
MinionPro (installed on my OS, not in ConTeXt).
The hyphenation shouldn't depend on the font being used, surely.
My guess is that there's a bug whereby it fails to find hyphenation
points that happen to occur within ligatures.
Can it hyphenate "surfing" (using typical fonts that have an "fi" ligature)?
Whether this is a LuaTeX engine bug or a ConTeXt macro bug is another
question....
