Hyphenation is not working properly

brave171 · Today, 06:22 AM

I've been seeing a lot of hyphens where they don't belong: They're not placed as according to the (German) hyphenation dictionary.
For instance, the word "Krankenzimmer" has a proper entry in the hyphenation dictionary as "Kran-ken-zim-mer", but is rendered as "Krankenz-immer" in text. This is also not an issue caused by the file; there are no soft hyphens.

Is there a way to fix this?

The used version is 2025.04 on a PW3.

Is your document language set to German? (Top menu, 2nd tab, Typography rules: German).

I tested your example and it worked fine (see attachment).

Yes, the document language is German. I can see that the hyphenation dictionary properly contains "Kran-ken-zim-mer", but somehow it is rendered falsely.

Attachments: This is how it renders for me. Also, "jüdis-chzartes" on this page is not hyphenated correctly too. As you can see, the hyphenation dictionary is not the issue, but something else.

While you think you answered the question "Is your document language set to German?" you missed the steps to verify the german typography rules are applied on the current document.

So please verify. If you still can reproduce on a German document where typography rules are set to german please say so and attach a sample document that showcases the issue.
