Installation of Compiled Hyphenation Patterns for FOP-stable

The jar file fop-hyph.jar contains the XML hyphenation patterns compiled for FOP's development code. To use these hyphenation patterns with FOP, do one of the following:

• If you invoke FOP using the shell script fop.sh or the batch file fop.bat distributed with FOP, do one of the following:
  1. Copy the jar file fop-hyph.jar into the lib directory of the your FOP installation, or
  2. copy the jar file fop-hyph.jar into the build directory of the your FOP installation, or
  3. copy the jar file fop-hyph.jar into a directory of your choice and set the environment variable FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH equal to the path of the chosen directory. In Unix shells, export the variable. On Unix you can also set this variable in your fop rc file $HOME/.foprc.
• If you invoke FOP in your own way, include fop-hyph.jar into your classpath.

Note that these patterns were compiled for FOP's stable distribution fop-0.9x. When the HyphenationTree class in FOP's development version is modified considerably, the compiled patterns may no longer be usable with that version, and you must obtain recompiled patterns.
