<div>Thanks for your time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I included defaulthyphenchar definition as the hyphenation character was not getting displayed. In that sense, the first error is same as the one I have pasted earlier or the next error you in the log. I am not able to debug this error and also don' t know how to make the hyphen character display.</div>

<div>Appreciate your further help.</div>
