By the way: Does somebody know a testpage for English hyphenation?

- No hyphenation in Firefox 8.0 + No support for moz-hyphens in Firefox 8.0 (Canonical) |
This is because the language "de" specified by the website isn't getting mapped to the right hyphenation pattern, which is installed as hyph_de_DE.dic (we're using our own hyphenation patterns installed via the language selector rather than the ones bundled with Firefox). The upstream hyphenation pattern is installed as hyph_de.dic

Note, that hyphenation *does* work with Firefox 10, but this is only because Firefox is bundling its own hyphenation patterns in the omni.jar and using those instead. This is pretty undesirable, as those increase the package size quite considerably (and the same for Thunderbird too).
We really want to drop those and make this work properly with the patterns provided by the openoffice.

useless by allowing extensions in the application directory, so that our
language packs aren't disabled by default

I think only with appropriate hyphenation you can use justified text on webpages, especially in languages as German. Missing hyphenation sometimes results in catastrophic word spaces. More information about hyphenation and an English test paragraph on http:// blog.fontdeck. com/post/ 9037028497/ hyphens (doesn’t work in my Canonical build).
Meanwhile I found another hyphenation test page for English → http:// meyerweb. com/eric/ css/tests/ css3/show. php?p=hyphens – the third paragraph should be hyphenated. But there both my friends Windows Firefox 8.0 and my own one fail.
Maybe this is because on Eric Meyers page there are no vendor prefixes like moz-hyphens? Does Canonical’s FF support them? If not, my problem is for now insolvable.
