Re: Hyphenation peculiarity.

Hi John,

Your format is probably missing the hyphenation patterns for english
(I ran into the same problem last week):


  # texexec --make en
  ....
  language       : no patterns en for en (n=1) (lang-en.pat,ukhyph.tex
  language       : no hyphenations en for en (n=1)
  language       : no patterns uk for uk (n=2) (lang-uk.pat,ukhyph.tex
  language       : no hyphenations uk for uk (n=2)
