Use this one https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-es.tex?revision=18607&view=co and convert it to latin-1 with something like iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 < hyph-es.tex > hyphen.es Then create a file `es.tmac' (in latin-1 encoding!), using e.g. `sv.tmac' as a model. That's it. > Some reference hyphen.es, `hyphen.xx' is the naming convention of hyphenation patterns in groff, yes. > some reference eshyph.tex, This is probably an old name of a Spanish TeX hyphenation patterns file.

See the `groff_tmac' man page for possible locations so that you can simply use `.mso'. > I have downloaded eshyph.tex but this does not seem to work. I don't know this file, but the above should work (not tested). However, you have to actually *activate* the hyphenation patterns, and that code you should put into a file `es.tmac' as described. Later on, you can either include the following line in your document .mso es.tmac or adding -m es on groff's command line. Werner
