[XeTeX] biblatex and xetex issue

[Joel GOMBIN]

Hi,

Sorry about the too long refs, and sorry indeed for not pointing out
clearly what my problem was. It is indeed the hyphenation pattern in the
references.

Ulrike, the problem is that if I use the "other" or "other*" option, then
the hyphenation options for the whole reference are switched, which is not
the desired output (see the quotation marks and the absence of spacing
after "In" for example):

Again, I do have the desired output with the "hyphenation" option with
pdflatex, is there no way to get it with xelatex?

Thanks,

Joel
