No Russian hyphen-data

igormsk

I've just tried using hyphenation on my page and Vivaldi failed to display hyphens.

I then found out there is no hyph-ru.hyb file in this folder /home/user/.config/vivaldi/hyphen-data/111.0.5537.0/, whereas other languages are present.

Vivaldi version: 5.6.2867.50 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)

Relevant CSS settings I used:

<html lang="ru" prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#">

p {
    text-align:justify;
    
    -webkit-hyphens: auto;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 3;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-chars: 6 3 3;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-last: always;   
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-zone: 8%;

    -moz-hyphens: auto;
    -moz-hyphenate-limit-chars: 6 3 3;
    -moz-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2;  
    -moz-hyphenate-limit-last: always;
    -moz-hyphenate-limit-zone: 8%;

    -ms-hyphens: auto;
    -ms-hyphenate-limit-chars: 6 3 3;
    -ms-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2;
    -ms-hyphenate-limit-last: always;   
    -ms-hyphenate-limit-zone: 8%;

    hyphens: auto;
    hyphenate-limit-chars: 6 3 3;
    hyphenate-limit-lines: 2;
    hyphenate-limit-last: always;   
    hyphenate-limit-zone: 8%;
}

@igormsk Hi - looks like hyphenation for Russian is not supported yet:

@Pathduck it's kinda strange because there are reports from 2010s that hyphenation did work. And now hyphen data files are in fact missing not only for the Russian language but for many others. Maybe they abandoned altogether the idea of hyphens for some reason.

I mean, according to this chart desktop Chrome only has hyphen dictonaries for English, that's all. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hyphens#browser_compatibility

@igormsk Feel free to report ussue at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list , Vivaldi will get hypehnation from upstream when it was added in Chromium.

@DoctorG good idea, I've done that.
