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 Knuthian-style
|
|
TeX systems are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the
|
|
UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant
|
|
the older patterns.
