CTAN Update: hyph-utf8

[CTAN Announcements]

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.
