and it hyphenated correctly (I think!)

Thank you, Sir! <BR>

This is all very excellent. To say that I was scared to make the switch to polyglossia!<BR>
I guess I had not so fond memories of my first clashes with Ubuntu's outdated TexLive packages.<BR>
<BR>
And the user manual is a mere 15 pages, I'm reading it right now! <IMG SRC="cid:1290999604.29884.12.camel@maxim-desktop" ALIGN="middle" ALT=";)" BORDER="0"><BR>

Polyglossia seems a superior solution, indeed, there is not even the need to specify the hyphenation rule, <BR>
it splits the "l'oscilloscope" word just fine with the defaults:<BR>
