I just skimmed through the pdf of the german version of the

the end of lines.
Examples:

Do you think filenames and such should not be hyphenated at all? I've
been thinking of it but that may sometimes result in weird spacing
because of the justification.
"/usr/share/mk" printed as
/
share/mk
"Option -o" printed as
Option -
o
From the english version:
"<d...@freebsd.org>" printed as
<des@FreeB-
SD.org>
Plus, in some paragraphs nearly all lines end with a hyphen; I think
that makes the whole hard to read.
If possible, I would turn syllabification off altogether.
Hyphenation can still be improved and actually it is a requirement for
printed publications. With hyphenation, justification works better and
text should have a more pleasant outlook. We can tweak the dictionaries
to avoid hyphenating the word FreeBSD and such. And as a last resort, we
can still easily turn it off if we are not satisfied with the result.
The rendering is still a work in progress. I'll see what I can do here.
