I think it is not documented, but AFAIK the Cocoa text system uses TeX-like hyphenation algorithm. With this algorithm one provides one set of hyphenation patterns per language. I have no idea how you can add a file with your own patterns...

I have ported a Finnish spell checking and hyphenation program from Linux to Mac OS X. The spell checking part works fine as a normal Cocoa spelling dictionary, but is there any way to use the hyphenation program from Cocoa applications?

TextEdit has a command called Allow Hyphenation in Format menu, and with it selected, the program indeed seems to hyphenate the text. I think English hyphenation works mostly correctly, but hyphenating Finnish does not seem to work so well. Does TextEdit use some system-wide hyphenation service, or has the program its own hyphenation code? I would expect there to be a similar hyphenation service to the Cocoa spelling service, but so far I have not found any documentation on this.

Thanks,

Otto
