Hello,
Recently I've found hyphenation patterns in the LibreOffice extension [1].
According to discussions in this list, it is possible to use patterns from
(Libre|Open)Office since hyphenation engine is the same (or almost the same).
Actions seems be pretty straightforward:
1. Put patterns to tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-<lang>.tex
2. Describe the language in source/generic/hyph-utf8/languages.rb
3. Adjust source/generic/hyph-utf8/generate-pattern-loaders.rb if patterns are
UTF-8 only
4. Generate loader & etc.
5. Install and use.
My steps 1-4 can be found on GitHub [2] (last 2 commits).
I have troubles with step 5 :(
I tried to create a deb file similar to
texlive-lang-cyrillic_2014.20141024-1_all.deb:
* /etc/texmf/hyphen.d/10texlive-lang-belarusian.cnf with specification of the
language
name=belarusian file=loadhyph-be.tex patterns=hyph-be.pat.txt lefthyphenmin=2
righthyphenmin=2 exceptions=
* empty /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-lang-belarusian.cnf
* patterns in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8
* '10texlive-lang-belarusian' in
/var/lib/tex-common/hyphen-cnf/texlive-lang-belarusian.list
and /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/texlive-lang-belarusian.list
language.dat is regenerated during installation, but fmtutil-sys is not happy.
Its complains:
$ sudo fmtutil-sys --all
fmtutil: running `luatex -ini -jobname=luatex -progname=luatex luatex.ini' ...

Transcript written on luatex.log.
Is there any way to make it more verbose? Or debug the issue somehow?
Also, please, clarify for me usage of quotes. There are 3 symbols used in
hyph-be.tex: ' ` ’
I suspect this can confuse the engine, since generate-plain-patterns.rb checks
only the first one and convert it to the third one to populate
hyph-quote-<lang>.tex
What is the official position on quotes? Should one use only ' and *TeX will do
the rest, or other symbols are allowed too?
And the third moment with these patterns is T2A encoding. The U+2019 symbol
(the third quote from the list above) make conversion impossible, since the
symbol is not mapped in converter. I tried to enable it in t2a.dat and
regenerate converter, but it fails with message: The encoding t2a uses more
than two bytes to encode characters.
Thanks in advance,
Maksim Salau.
