[duxuser] Re: SMALL PROBLEM

Hello, George.

NO, this isn't a bug.  The tables are doing what they are supposed to do.  The 
French table is following the French language hyphenation convention, which is 
less stringent than English concerning where you may hyphenate a word, and 
therefore makes automated hyphenation easier to implement than would be the 
case for English, since the software (or user) doesn't have to figure out 
whether or not they are at a syllable boundary.  What I am saying to Doreen is 
that if she is prepared to put up with occasional awkward placement of a 
hyphen, she can have automated hyphenation by adopting the French table and 
convention.

Hi David,

Could you elaborate on that please?  If it's a bug issue, then we need to 
rattle someone's age, and make sure it's in the problem tracker database.
