Summary0000975: adding hmcount (hyphenationmincount)
DescriptionSome combinations of characters should count as 0 or 2 when counting characters for \hyphenationmin, \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin. This would solve two problems:

- in latin <œ,U+0301> (œ́) should count as one, not two
- in latin, optionally, œ and æ could count as 2
Additional InformationIdeally, the attribute would be an attribute to the characters in a particular language, like \uccode and \lccode. In this approach, we would have something like

    \hmcount 301 0
    \hmcount œ 2
    \hmcount æ 2

that would be saved by \savinghyphcodes.

But in a first step, I think it would be quite straightforward to make it a glyph node attribute that would have to be set by the user in a callback, and that would modify the way \righthyphenmin, \lefthyphenmin and \hyphenationmin count the characters. I've looked at the code that does it, and it seems quite easy... What do you think?

hmcounts would add a lot of overhead and there is no end to such additional features (in fact, the leaner and meaner the better); see post to mailing list for suggested alternative approach
