Bug#105383: no german hyphenation
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0-10
Severity: normal
Hi!
Since upgrading to Debian 2.2 (r2), I get the following error
in all my latex files, when I use a "\usepackage[german]{babel}":
Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel) the language `German'
(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.
(language 0 is american, which is quite different from german hyphenation).
A similar error results from using "\usepackage{german}":
german -- \language number for German undefined, default 255 used,
german -- Please read "gerdoc.tex" how to install hyphenation patterns.)
This message is even followed by the latex error
! Undefined control sequence.
l.3 \select@language
{german}
According to chapter 3 of the file "Kurzbeschreibung [short description]
german.sty"
(/usr/share/doc/tetex-doc/texmf/generic/styles/gerdoc.dvi.gz)
this means, that the german hyphenation patterns have not correctly
been installed. AFAIK these patterns are in the file
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/dehypht.tex
Greeting,
Michael

% This file is a collection of putatively all extant \MF\ modes.
%
% If you have a device which is not mentioned in this file, the best
% thing to do is try to find a device with similar resolution (search
% for the appropriate lines), and see if that suits (a list of fonts to
% try is given above). Otherwise, methods for fiddling with the
% parameters are described in detail below.
%
% Unfortunately, the number of modes eats up a lot of memory; if your
% \MF\ has not increased the table sizes, you may need to remove
% some of the modes from this file (please name it something else then,
% e.g., {\tt local.mf}). If you can suggest a way to redefine |mode_def|
% and/or |mode_setup|, even better; right now, the amount of memory
% used is approximately four times the length of the |mode_def| names.
%
% The primary names are intentionally all eight characters or less, and
% strictly lowercase. This makes it feasible to use them for portable
% directory names, and the \TeX\ Directory Structure standard recommends
% doing so. The synonyms are historical equivalents.
%
% It also makes definitions to put specials identifying the mode in
% the \MF\ GF output, and to put the coding scheme and
% other so-called Xerox-world information in the TFM output.
%
% It also defines a macro |landscape| that inverts |aspect_ratio| and
% changes |pixels_per_inch|, so you can say {\tt mode := whatever;
% landscape; ...} to get landscape fonts. But I can't think of any
% reasonable way to reflect the |landscape| in the directory name, so
% there are also |mode_def|'s for the devices with non-square aspect
% ratios in landscape mode.
%
% Finally, it has some code to handle write-white devices better; this
% code comes into play if a |mode_def| includes the statement
% |mode_write_white_setup_;|. Such |mode_def|s should also define
% |blacker_min|. For further discussion of write/white and white/black
% devices, see the file {\tt ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/write-white},

% This file is typically loaded when making a \MF\ base; for example,
% the command line
%%\begingroup \tt \obeyspaces
% inimf plain input modes dump
%%\endgroup
% makes a file {\tt plain.base} (or {\tt plain.bas}, or something like that)
% with all the modes herein defined (plain itself defines modes called
% |proof|, |smoke|, and |lowres|.)
%
% You can make the Computer Modern base with the command line:
%%\begingroup \tt \obeyspaces
% inimf plain input modes input cmbase dump
%%\endgroup
% It's generally best to avoid doing this, since it's
% easy to forget to update them. Just using {\tt plain.base} is simplest.
%
% On Unix systems, you then install the base file in the system directory
% ({\tt /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c} as distributed) as {\tt mf.base}.
% \MF\ uses the name it was invoked as to determine the format
% or base file to read; thus running {\tt mf} reads {\tt mf.base}, running
% {\tt cmmf} reads {\tt cmmf.base}, and so on. {\tt plain.base} and
% {\tt mf.base} should be the same file (either a hard or soft link
% is ok), so the examples in {\sl The \MF book\/} work.
%
% A user selects a particular mode when running \MF
% by assigning to the variable |mode|. For example:
%%\begingroup \tt \obeyspaces
% mf \char`\\mode:=cx; input cmr10
%%\endgroup
% sets up values appropriate for the CanonCX engine.
%
% If no mode is assigned, the default is |proof| mode, as stated in {\sl
% The \MF book}. This is the cause of the ``{\tt .2602gf}'' files which
% are the subject of periodic questions. The remedy is simply to assign
% a different mode---|localfont|, for example.
%
% Every site should define the mode |localfont| to be a synonym for the
% mode most commonly used. This file defines |localfont| to be |ljfour|.
% The values for |screen_rows| and |screen_cols|, which determine how big
% \MF's window for online output is, should perhaps also be
% changed; certainly individual users should change them to their
% own tastes.
%
% This file defines {\tt ?} to type out a list of all the known
% |mode_def|s (once only).
%
% Technically, a |mode_def| is a \MF\ definition that typically
% consists of a series of assignments to various device-specific variables,
% either primitive or defined in plain. These variables include the
% following (page numbers refer to {\sl The \MF book\/}:
%
% |aspect_ratio|: the ratio of the vertical resolution to the horizontal
% resolution (page 94).
%
% |blacker|: a correction added to the width of stems and similar
% features, to account for devices which would otherwise make them
% too light (page 93). (Write-white devices are best handled by a more
% sophisticated method than merely adding to |blacker|, as explained
% above.) Compare your results with a good high-resolution example,
% such as one of the volumes of {\sl Computers \& Typesetting}.
% If you compare against the output of a typical write-black 300$\,$dpi
% engine, you will almost certainly wind up with something too dark.
%
% |fillin|: a correction factor for diagonals and other features which
% would otherwise be ``filled in'' (page 94). An ideal device would
% have |fillin=0| (page 94). Negative values for |fillin| typically
% have either gross effects or none at all, and should be avoided.
% Positive values lighten a diagonal line, negative values darken it.
% Changes in the |fillin| value tend to have abruptly non-linear effects
% on the various design-sizes and magnifications of a typeface.
%
% |fontmaking|: if nonzero at the end of the job, \MF\ writes
% a TFM file (page 315).
%
% |o_correction|: a correction factor for the ``overshoot'' of curves
% beyond the baseline or x-height. High resolution curves look better
% with overshoot, so such devices should have |o_correction=1|; but
% at low resolutions, the overshoot appears to simply be a distortion
% (page 93). Here some additional comments about |o_correction|,
% courtesy of Pierre MacKay (edited by Karl):
%
% At present, I find that |o_correction| works nicely at 80 pixels per
% em, and gets increasingly disturbing as you move down towards 50
% pixels per em. Below that I do not think it ought to happen at all.
%
% The problem, of course, is that full |o_correction| is supposed to
% occur only at the zenith and nadir of the curve of `o', which is
% a small region at high resolution, but may be a long line of
% horizontal pixels at medium resolution. The full |o_correction|
% does not change a 300$\,$dpi {\tt cmr10}, but it changes a 21-pixel
% high {\tt cmr12} to be 23 pixels high. The extra height and depth
% is seen along a line of seven pixels at the bottom and five at
% the top. This is a pronounced overshoot indeed.
%
% For high-resolution devices, such as phototypesetters, the values
% for |blacker|, |fillin|, and |o_correction| don't matter all that much,
% so long as the values are within their normal ranges: between
% 0 and 1, with the values approaching 0, 0, and 1 respectively.
%
% |pixels_per_inch|: the horizontal resolution; the \MF\ primitive
% |hppp| (which is what determines the extension on the GF filename,
% as among other things) is computed from this (page 94). (An ``inch''
% is 72.27$\,$pt in the \TeX\ world.)
%
% To be more precise, you can determine the resolution of a font given
% a |mode_def| and a magnification |m| by simply multiplying
% |pixels_per_inch| for that |mode_def| by |m|. (Your results may differ
% from \MF's if you don't use equivalent fixed-point arithmetic.)
% Then you can determine the number used in the name of the GF font
% output by rounding. For example, a font generated at |magstep(.5)|
% (which is $\sqrt{1.2}$, which \MF\ computes as 1.09544) for a printer
% with |pixels_per_inch=300| will have a resolution of 328.63312 dots
% per inch, and the GF filename will include the number {\tt 329}.
%
% |proofing|: says whether to put additional specials in the GF file for
% use in making proofsheets via, e.g., the utility program {\tt GFtoDVI}
% (page 323--4).
%
% |tracingtitles|: if nonzero, strings that appear as \MF\ statements
% are typed on the terminal (page 187).
%
% Pierre MacKay {\tt mackay@cs.washington.edu} has a collection of Unix
% tools to make up a minifont of indicator characters to help in testing.
%
% Neenie Billawala's article in the April 1987 issue of {\sl TUGboat}
% describes how to test your printer for the best set of values for the
% magic numbers above. Here are some brief comments on the subject,
% courtesy of Rocky Bernstein and Paul Abrahams:
%
% For medium-to-low resolution devices, you can first set the |blacker|
% and |o_correction| to~0 and decide on a |fillin| value by looking at
% the diagonal of a lowercase `z' in {\tt cmtt10}, or various lines in
% LaTeX's {\tt line10} font. The diagonal should be the same thickness
% as the horizontal bars of the `z'. Then I decide on the |blacker|
% value, generally by checking the smaller fonts for too much filling
% in. Finally, you can set the |o_correction| using the guidelines
% suggested above.
%
% The easiest way to make a new |mode_def| is not by modifying this file
% and rebuilding your base file every time. Instead, use a separate file
% that contains the appropriate values for the mode parameters and read
% it in when running \MF. If you're using Dvips or another utility
% that calls {\tt MakeTeXPK} to make PK files, remember you'll have to call
% \MF\ explicitly to make fonts until you've rebuilt the base files.
%
% To use a separate mode file with \MF, use the following
% command line:
%%\begingroup \tt \obeyspaces
% mf \char`\\smode:="newmode.mf"; mag:=magstep (2.0); input cmr10
%%\endgroup
% substituting whatever font and magnification you wish, or omitting
% the magnification altogether.
%
% The file {\tt newmode.mf} should contain lines like this (with no
% |mode_def| or |enddef|):
%%\begingroup \tt \catcode`\_=12 \obeyspaces
% mode_param (pixels_per_inch, 100);
% mode_param (blacker, 0);
% mode_param (fillin, 0);
% mode_param (o_correction, 1);
% mode_common_setup_;
%%\endgroup
% changing the values as appropriate, of course. Once you're satisfied
% with the parameters, use inimf as described below to rebuild and
% install the plain (and any other) base files.
%
% For more information on the use of |smode|, see page 269 of
% {\sl The \MF book}.
%
% Matt Swift has contributed a short \TeX\ file to help in testing new
% modes. Remember to remove a leading |"%% "| from each line after
% extracting it. (Only a single \% is shown in the printed version.)
% If you don't use this file for testing, please mention what fonts
% at what sizes you tested your new mode on. This will help other
% people wondering where particular values came from. Ideally,
% you would try normal, bold, and italic variants, at sizes around
% 5$\,$pt, 10$\,$pt and 15$\,$pt.
%
%%%% It seems too difficult to get the verbatim stuff right with MFT alone,
%%%% so why not quote the lines with `%%' and leave the processing to TeX?
%%%% The only drawback is that comment lines have to start with a blank,
%%%% since we have two stop MFT from interpreting them as `%%%' comments.
%%%% Therefore it seems best to quote every line with `%% ' consistently

% Here are useful macros (also called definitions) we use throughout.
% First, some comments about how the |mode_defs| are constructed (from
% {\tt rocky@panix.com}). In the past, |mode_defs| unconditionally
% assigned a value to the various mode-dependent parameters.
% For example, they contained an assignment |fontmaking:=1|, which
% tells \MF\ to write a TFM file.
%
% But suppose you want to generate a font using all of the setup for
% some mode |m|, but do not want to generate a TFM? One could create
% another mode that doesn't have the assignment, but this seems a bit
% wasteful since the rest of the code in the mode would be duplicated.
% Furthermore, given the way the mode definitions were written, it was
% not possible to change the mode parameters. To see why, I review how
% a \MF\ run typically works.
%
% First, \MF\ is invoked with some base file to load. Then you might
% want give additional instructions, such as |scrollmode|, or |mode:=cx|.
% Next, you input a parameter file, say {\tt cmr10}. The parameter file
% calls a driver file such as {\tt roman.mf} with the command
% |generate roman |. Finally, the driver finishes with |bye| or |end|.
% Thus, any additional commands you give after the input of the
% parameter file are ignored.
%
% Usually, one of the first things a driver file does is to call
% |mode_setup|. It is here that the mode parameters are set. (In our
% hypothetical mode, it would be here that |fontmaking| is assigned.)
%
% To allow a flexible setting of |fontmaking|, we can make a simple
% change: in the |mode_def|, first test to see if a value has been
% defined prior and only make the assignment if not. That is:
% |if unknown fontmaking: fontmaking := 1; fi|.
%
% Alas, this doesn't work. Primitives, like |fontmaking|, are always
% |known|. So instead we create ``guard'' variables, specifically,
% |mode_guard_.fontmaking|; we set the guard when we assign the
% parameter. Then we test whether the guard is |known| before we
% actually do an assignment. This allows more flexible definitions: you
% can specify some of the parameters, and keep the defaults for others.
%
% It is also possible to write a program that creates a |mode_def|
% on the fly. Although useful, this has a slightly different focus
% than starting with an existing |mode_def| and changing a couple
% of parameters. In particular, one still has to peek inside the
% file to see what the old values were and set them again (in the
% new context). Also, such on-the-fly |mode_def| generation programs
% are inherently less machine-independent than a scheme that does
% everything in \MF\ itself.
%
% The upshot of all this is the following: we say, e.g.,
% |mode_param (fontmaking, 1)| below, instead of using the assignment
% primitive directly. The name (``|mode_param|'') is kept somewhat
% short because you can also use this to override a mode assignment
% on the command line or in response to the {\tt **} prompt.
def mode_param (suffix v) (expr e) =
if unknown mode_guard_.v:
v := e;
mode_guard_.v := 1;

% Some general comments on the IBM printers, courtesy of {\tt rocky@panix.com}.
%
% IBM 3820's, 3825's, 3827's and 3835's have some sort of corner imaging
% or shading that the IBM 3812's and 3816's don't. The latter two models
% may get this feature in the future.
%
% The IBM 3827 is made by Kodak, the rest are IBM engines.
%
% Some of the other printers have a knob that allows a service engineer
% to set one of up to ten levels of darkness. At IBM Research, we run
% very black. The service engineer sets the level by running a completely
% black page and then two completely blank ones. The black page
% must be black and the following two must be completely white.

% although characters come out somewhat lighter on the 4si. Assumes
% that the density controls are set to their default values and that the

% chosen to make 12$\,$pt text look good; for 10$\,$pt text, set |blacker=.66|.
