Date: July 1, 2008 8:13:36 AM CEST
This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Hyphenation Patterns in UTF-8 encoding Author's name: Mojca Miklavec Location on CTAN: / Summary description: Hyphenation patterns have been converted into UTF-8 and should serve as a replacement for the old patterns without any change in functionality. The patterns should be considered upstream replacement that will be used in TeX Live and other distrubutions instead of loding the old files. License type: lppl Announcement text:
- hyph-en-gb.tex (ukhyphen) and hyph-en-us.tex (ushyphmax) added - Russian and Ukrainian depend on the old loading schemes (for UTF-8) again - some Russian patterns added (cyryoal (yo) for Russian and some more) that were forgotten before - import documentation for Bulgarian (still waiting for update from author) one upload before that: - Sanskrit added - Serbo-Croatian fixed - in Ancient Greek wrong patterns were loaded - fixes in Turkish and Basque

hyph-utf8 – Hyphenation patterns expressed in UTF-8

Modern native UTF-8 engines such as and Lua need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc).

The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for Knuthian-style systems are only read at ini time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns.
