Hi,

In order to get rid of the pattern problems (no consistency in internals, funny 
names, changing locations, changing names, etc) I decided to provide the option 
to use context 'specific' pattern files, although ... the pattern files have 
become quite generic and encoding independent.

For those willing to test, i uploaded a new alpha version. In order to use the 
new method you need to generate the pattern files in a path known to tex.

   ctxtools --patterns all   (or a language code instead)
   texexec --make --all

The pattern files use symbolic names instead of encoding specific characters or 
tex commands. Because pattern files are often encoding specific, loading a 
pattern file multiple times could be tricky. The generated files can be loaded 
for any encoding that provides the named glyphs (i.e. maps onto numbers).

[As a joke, i also provide the option to let those pattern files be coded in xml.]

In principle, the files can be used in e.g. plain tex as well, for more details 
see the new (preliminary) manual mpattern.pdf

Btw, I still have to do the cyrillic languages. if you think that for your 
language a multiple encodings should be preloaded ... let me know. Also, the 
manual has room for language specific information, char tables etc

Hans

Hi,

The last few years we have encountered problems with changes in pattern 
files and names (dutch was dropped, czech was invalid, and us filenames 
also changed in undocumented ways). To get a bit more control over this 
can of worms, we need a test file that can be added to the tex live test 
suite.

So, what i need is for each language a couple of words that hyphenate in 
unique ways (i.e. they must hyphenate differently than related languages)

\language[xx] \hyphenatedword{..}

can be used to test


Hans
