No hyphenation on words with non-ASCII characters (at least in french)

[Jean Privat]

Binary package hint: tetex-base

Preambule: I manualy set a workaround to #36145 in my dapper box :
1- I putted 10tetex instead of 00tetex in var/lib/tex-common/language-cnf/tetex-base.list
2- I runed sudo update-language
3- I runed sudo fmtutil-sys --all

Then hyphenation works excepts for words that contains non-ASCII characters (independently the fact I use latin1 or utf8, native encoding (é) or escaping (\'e)).

I have done an example that shows the problem : I try to \showhyphens two french words, one without accents "armature" and one with an accents "modélisation".

The first is correctly hyphened "ar-ma-ture" the second is not hyphened at all.

I will attache two latex files (one using latin1 and the other using uft8) and the corresponding log files of a latex invocation.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

Is it still a problem in the packages for Edgy ?

[Jean Privat (privat)]

Yes, still present.

bug 36145 was fixed. You didn't change anything on your tetex Edgy install to try and circumvent it right?

I'm just asking to be sure.

No, I had just tested on an other machine.
