+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label weirdhyphen</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Weird hyphenation of words</h3>
+<p/>If your words are being h-yphenated, like this, with jus-t single
+letters at the
+beginning or the end of the word, you may have a version mismatch
+problem. TeX&rsquo;s hyphenation system changed between version 2.9
+and 3.0, and macros written for use with version 2.9 can have this
+effect with a version 3.0 system. If you are using Plain TeX, make
+sure your <i>plain.tex</i> file has a version number which is at
+least 3.0, and rebuild your format. If you are using LaTeX 2.09 your
+best plan is to upgrade to LaTeX2e. If for some reason you can&rsquo;t,
+the last version of LaTeX 2.09 (released on 25 March 1992) is still
+available (for the time being at least) and ought to solve this
+problem.
+<p/>If you&rsquo;re using LaTeX2e, the problem probably arises from your
+<code>hyphen.cfg</code> file, which has to be created if you&rsquo;re using a
+multi-lingual version.
+<p/>A further source of oddity can derive from the 1995 release of
+<a href="FAQ-ECfonts.html">Cork-encoded fonts</a>,
+which introduced an alternative hyphen character. The LaTeX2e
+configuration files in the font release specified use of the
+alternative hyphen, and this could produce odd effects with words
+containing an explicit hyphen. The font configuration files in the
+December 1995 release of LaTeX2e do <em>not</em> use the alternative
+hyphen character, and therefore removed this source of problems; the
+solution, again, is to upgrade your LaTeX.
