I think only with appropriate hyphenation you can use justified text on webpages, especially in languages as German. Missing hyphenation sometimes results in catastrophic word spaces. More information about hyphenation and an English test paragraph on http://blog.fontdeck.com/post/9037028497/hyphens (doesn’t work in my Canonical build).
Meanwhile I found another hyphenation test page for English → http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/css3/show.php?p=hyphens – the third paragraph should be hyphenated. But there both my friends Windows Firefox 8.0 and my own one fail. Maybe this is because on Eric Meyers page there are no vendor prefixes like moz-hyphens? Does Canonical’s FF support them? If not, my problem is for now insolvable. ** Summary changed: - No hyphenation in Firefox 8.0 + No support for moz-hyphens in Firefox 8.0 (Canonical) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894166 Title: No support for moz-hyphens in Firefox 8.0 (Canonical) Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The page http://www.belleslettres.eu/blog/firefox-silbentrennung.php provides a test field for German hyphenation in Firefox 8.0 (build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.3). On my friend’s Windows PC the hyphenation works, but it didn’t work on my Ubuntu Laptop (11.10 Oneiric)– there simply wasn’t any hyphenated word. I tested with a new profile without addons etc. I have filed this bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704885 too, but there was somebody who got hyphenation with the Mozilla build for Linux x86_64 (also my system). He reasoned the missing hyphenation is caused by the Canonical build. By the way: Does somebody know a testpage for English hyphenation?
