[XeTeX] Odd hyphenations

[NEAL DELMONICO]

Thanks.  I tried that and it does solve the English hyphenation.  I was 
wondering if it affected the Sanskrit hyphenation.  Apparently it does.  
Fortunately, I don't have much Sanskrit in this book.  But, there may be 
ramifications for the Hindi (Braj Bhsha) verse in the appendix.  I will look at 
that.  Most are too short for there to be a problem.  Some lines are long and 
may be affected by the lack of hyphenation.  If anyone comes up with a solution 
I would be much obliged.  My internet connection has gone south and therefore my 
response time will be slow for the next few days.  I have to go to campus in 
order to get on the internet.

Best wishes,

Neal

Try removing \setotherlanguage{sanskrit}.

There's probably a lot more going on, but this seemed to fix the hyphenation 
errors in the English.  It looks as if the Sanskrit isn't hyphenating now, 
though.  More thought required.

See attached.
