Hyphenation Patterns
Hello,
I need Hyphenation Patterns for german and french language. These are not available at the fop-homepage, but a reference to a tex source. Its mentioned that its possible to convert the tex-format to the fop xml-format. I tried really hard to find out how to do this, but I got no idea.
Maybe here is someone who can help me...

You're the bomb, Simon! (TRANSLATION: I was hoping someone might step
up to this challenge... Thank you very much! :-))

I am about to make the hyphenation patterns for German and French
available on my homepage, www.leverkruid.nl/FOP/index.html.
I intend to find a home for all hyphenation pattern files that have a
license that is not compatible with the Apache license, but which
allows their free distribution. I am thinking of the TeX archive CTAN,
SourceForge or Savannah.
Enjoy,
Simon Pepping

I believe that, due to licensing issues, the hyphenation patterns have
been removed from old binaries (hence the 'a' in 0.20.4a, 0.20.3a,
etc.). I suspect that the best course of action is to follow the
instructions on the FOP Hyphenation page[1] to convert TeX hyphenation
patterns. The FOP developers sincerely regret that the hyphenation
patterns had to be removed. If you have problems with the conversion,
please don't hesitate to ask for help on this list.

I have never done the conversion myself, but heard that it is actually
quite tricky. The french and german hypenatation patterns used to be
distributed with older versions of FOP, 0.20.4. Older versions of FOP
binaries can be downloaded from the website. So I suggest you download
and install FOP 0.20.4 and then extract the hypenatation files from there.
