Hi, I'm trying to make justified text look nicer, so I turned to hyphenation. Hungarian is not supported out of the box by groff, but I found a tex patterns file which seems quite good, that is what I tried to use, to not much success. Hyphenation happens, but not as often as I'd hope. After some more reading, I think the problem might be with the accented Hungarian characters not having hyphenation codes assigned to them, since hyphenation seemingly only happens near non-accented vowels.
These are the requests that I used for hyphenation originally: .hla hu .hpf /home/gergo/projekt/jella/huhyphn.tex .hy 1 The manual told me that > A hyphenation code must be an ordinary character (not a special character > escape sequence) other than a digit or a space. So I tried following the example, with these requests: .hcode á á Á á .hcode é é É é .hcode í í Í í .hcode ó ó Ó ó .hcode ö ö Ö ö .hcode ő ő Ő ő .hcode ú ú Ú ú .hcode ü ü Ü ü .hcode ű ű Ű ű However, groff throws errors saying "error: hyphenation code must be ordinary character". I tried with and without preconv to no avail. The example supplied in the manual, with German characters, didn't work either. What could be the problem here? Best regards, Gergő Gáspár
