Running w/ RH6.0+updates Latex hyphenation is broken badly; sometimes it will hyphenate at the very last letter of a word (bad) or at the very first letter (bad). This shouldn't happen... right? Here is some offending test code that hyphenates at S-napple when I run it: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \section{Foo} Foo bar fubar singlonk wingnut froobles asinine seventeen futzing laughter Snapple Ameritech Every handlebar lorum ipsum motorcycle feedback sharks with laser beams. \end{document} I did a search on dejanews and this kind of problem arises when \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin are not set properly. It looks like you guys grabbed a broken snapshot of tetex from CTAN: http://x29.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=511934746&CONTEXT=934848582.1176371299&hitnum=1 A workaround is to just add these lines, \lefthyphenmin=2 \righthyphenmin=3 But that's a kludge.
Upgrade to tetes-1.0.6-2 from Raw Hide.
