Finnish hyphenation in LaTeX
A reminder on how to get Finnish hyphenation working with LaTeX
It took me quite some time to get Finnish hyphenation working with LaTeX and babel. I don’t know why current Linux distributions seem to comment out languages, I never had this problem before. But here are the steps to get Finnish hyphenation working:
- Run
texconfig
and select hyphenation and latex. In the editor remove the comments from those languages that you want to use (finnish in this case). - Run
fmtutil --all
in the shell - Now the generic instructions of appending
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[finnish]{babel}
to the preamble of the document will work
Thank goodness for Google though…
