[XeTeX] Hyphenation again…

[Florian Grammel]

Dear all,

I've been pulling my hair out all day, because my self-defined  
hyphenation-exceptions would partly stop working after migrating a  
project started in LaTeX to XeLaTeX. Now I think, I've pinned down  
the problem, but I have still no clue what to do about it… might be  
any of you have suggestion? Am I missing something here?

When I compile the nonsense-example below with LaTeX, the defined  
hyphenation-rules are properly used in both the paragraphs and the  
exceptions included by \ger{} and \fre{} respectivly: The hyphenation  
neatly changes twice in each paragraph.

Using XeLaTeX, only the \selectlanguage{}-command works and sets the  
hyphenation for the whole paragraph –- the exceptions are ignored.

\foreignlanguage is ignored in the same way.
This seems not to be language-specific.
I'm using up-to-date teTeX (i-installer), babel, XeTeX and fontspec  
on 10.4.7 (PPC).



Another (minor) issue is, that all use of babel's Icelandic in  
XeLaTeX seems to hyphenate just fine, but always produces the error- 
message:

(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/generic/babel/icelandic.ldf)
Runaway argument?
{\sob {ҽ{.7}{0}{0}{0}} \DeclareTextCommand {\eob }{T1}{\sob {e}{1}{0 
\ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \@argdef.

                 \par
l.134 \ProcessOptions*




I would be grateful for any help,
Florian.
