Re: [XeTeX] Hyphenation exceptions for German -- how?
Thank you all, that's much better ;)
While we're at it: Is there a ready way to define different hyphenation
exceptions for each language used in one document?
All the best -- Thomas

Hi Thomas,
short answer: use \hyphenation after \begin{document}, then it works.
However, I've been wondering for a while now why this is the case – can someone
explain this behaviour?
It could well be that the hyphenation patterns defined using
polyglossia are not actually loaded until the \begin{document}
by loading the appropriate commands using
\AtBeginDocument{... whatever ...}
LaTeX has an internal macro \@begindocumenthook
that is expanded at that time.
There can be many good reasons for delaying some commands
until LaTeX has read the complete preamble.
For example, this is a standard way to resolve conflicts due
to the order of loading packages. One package can have a piece
of coding that detects whether or not another has been loaded,
then expands an appropriate macro to deal with the potential
conflict, only if necessary.
You can use this too, within the preamble, by doing:
\AtBeginDocument{\hyphenation{%
einer
Me-ta-ethik
}}

Re: [XeTeX] How to mix math fonts?
Wow, Ulrik, Perfect! I will simply use your version now (not trying to learn the syntax). Will - Maybe it makes sense to incorporate some of the changes into your original document? Or at least create a second copy or style file with the purpose to compare different fonts? Mojca -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

Yes, apparently … but /why/?

\AtBeginDocument{\hyphenation{%

d'oh … I have to admit, I've never thought about using AtBeginDocument
for this … more convenient than putting it after \begin{document}, indeed.

Activate the languages before using \hyphenation:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{german}
\setotherlanguage{english}
\selectlanguage{german}
\hyphenation{
einer
Me-ta-ethik}
\selectlanguage{english}
\hyphenation{met-ae-th-ik}
\begin{document}
\showhyphens{Metaethik, einer}
\selectlanguage{english}
\showhyphens{Metaethik, einer}
\end{document}
(With babel the \selectlanguage is not necessary for the main
language as babel loads its patterns directly. Polyglossia loads
everything only at begin document.)

Thanks Ulrike, that's logical /and/ works :) I had thought that you
can only have one \hyphenation{...} per document.

[XeTeX] epsdice package.
I am trying to use the epsdice package from inside LyX, and when I switch to using xelatex as the formatting engine, the package malfunctions. Instead of drawing a single die, it draws all 12 possible combinations of dice on two lines. :( Is there a working dice or dominoes or "grouped dots" package for xelatex ? The document I am writing is in Cherokee, so xelatex is my only choice for font reasons. -- --- - Learn to speak Cherokee: http://www.cherokeelessons.com/ - Cherokee Language Help BBS/Chat: http://www.cherokeelessons.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=6 - Cherokee Lessons PDF made with: http://www.lyx.org/ die test-BAD.tex Description: TeX document die test-BAD.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document die test.tex Description: TeX document die test.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document die test.lyx Description: Binary data -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
