Long time ago Yves Codet wrote ... With XeLaTeX, if you use the package "polyglossia", hyphenation patterns (included in the package "hyph-utf8") corresponding to the language you select will be applied. For instance:
\usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit} \newfontfamily\sanskritfont[Script=Devanagari]{Sanskrit2003} I can see that "hyph-utf8" has patterns for several other Indian languages: http://www.tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/ which will be part of the next TeX Live. And Fran?ois will certainly be willing to add support for those languages to his "polyglossia". I am still unable to use polyglossia .. perhaps some version problem... I am getting the following error... any advice?
