CTAN Update: hyph-utf8
Date: June 26, 2009 1:15:53 PM CEST
On Fri, 26 Jun 2009, Mojca Miklavec and Arthur Reutenauer submitted an update to
the
hyph-utf8
package.
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.

hyph-utf8 – Hyphenation patterns expressed in UTF-8
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.
