Hyphenation issues: msg#00527

Subject: Hyphenation issues

Dear list-members,

I just started using LaTeX some time ago and still a novice but getting more and more fascinated by it, while experimenting with it's possibilities. But now I've encountered a problem, which I couldn't find a solution for:

When working with texts in languages using diacritics, I found out that words with diacritics are not made up. Even when I use babel and T1, the result isn't always satisfying, especially when writing Esperanto, that for some reason hasn't got proper hyphenation-handling in babel. I found out that there were two packages addressing this problem, namely more generally "mltex" and modified tables for babel called "eo" especially for Esperanto: http://www.esperanto.mv.ru/Download/TeX/eo.tar.gz

By browsing the TeX-directories (made by i-installer) I found out that both these are in there from the start (tetex:share:temf.tetex:tex:latex:mltex and tetex:share:temf.tetex:tex:latex:eo and tetex:share:temf.tetex:tex:generic:babel:latin3eo.def), so my guess was, that it should be possible to evoke them from my file in TeXShop. But when I try to process the test-files from the original packages neither mltex nor eo are found and thus the result is not as hoped for. This is what I get when processing each of the test-files (or my own ones):

(...)
Package mltex Warning: Encoding `LO1' assumes the use of MLTeX,
(mltex) but this TeX does not have the MLTeX extensions.
(mltex) I will proceed as if `LO1' are equal to `OT1'.
(...)


(...)
Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel) the language `Eo'
(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.

You need MLTeX extensions to get full hyphenation for Esperanto.))
(...)

As I don't know, how exactly the TeX-installation is organised (and this is why I just love i-installer!), I am not sure whether those packages are just *included* in the installation, and something special has to be done to activate them or whether I am making some other mistake.

Might be someone on the list could help me with getting those packages work?


Thanks in advance,
Florian.
