Hi Philip, --- 2015-10-31 20:23 GMT+05:30 Philip Taylor <p.tay...@rhul.ac.uk>: | It seems to me, Shakthi, (and I know nothing about the rules for Tamil | typography) that XeLaTeX does not know how to hyphenate Tamil words; \--
I don't want the words to be hyphenated and split across lines. --- | perhaps it is impossible, or simply "not done". So the best I can do | (and I also do not have your preferred font, \-- I use fonts-lohit-taml-classical installed on Ubuntu using: $ sudo apt-get install fonts-lohit-taml-classical --- | Unicode MS) is to set \emergencystretch to a sufficiently large value to | allow your text to justify without hyphenation : \-- That is exactly what I wanted, and it worked. Thanks a lot! Appreciate it.
