Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX 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 LaTeX 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 TeX
|
||
|
|
are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns,
|
||
|
|
with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns.
