>Ah, I hadn't realized that these could be used in plain XeTeX. Can they? I have built a XeTeX format file using the standard mechanism (i.e., language.dat etc.) and I have added the following commands in a sample file
\catcod...@11\relax \def\setlanguage#1{% \expandafter\ifx\csname l...@#1\endcsname\relax% \typeout{^^J Error: No hyphenation pattern for language #1 loaded,}% \typeout{ default hyphenation patterns are used.^^J}% \language=0% \else\language=\csname l...@#1\endcsname\fi} \catcod...@12\relax %\def\ancientgreek{\setlanguage{ancinetgreek} %\def\american{\setlanguage{american}} \font\GR="Minion Pro" at 12pt \GR\setlanguage{monogreek} And they work. The language.dat file I use is minimal and contains the following: american ushyphmax.tex ancientgreek loadhyph-grc.tex monogreek loadhyph-el-monoton.tex greek loadhyph-el-polyton.tex =polygreek These loadhyph-something files load either the ASCII or the UTF-8 encoded patterns, depending on the program one uses to create his/her format file. a.s. ---------------------- Apostolos Syropoulos Xanthi, Greece
