Re: neatroff for Russian. (Was: Questions concerning hyphenation patterns for non-Latin languages, e.g. Russian)

[Oliver Corff]

Hi Ralph,

I could not resist the temptation to procrastinate from my current work
and had a look at neatroff.

Really neat!

Out-of-the-box, my test file russ.ms and TeX utf8 hyphenation patterns
taken straight from my TeX installation produced the attached very
satisfying result.

Best regards,

Oliver.
