I know that a nice list of (English) hyphenation exceptions was published in TUGboat, in quite a few installments. Is it compiled somewhere in one place?

whenever an update is published in tugboat, the complete "list-so-far" is posted to ctan as a pdf file tb0hyf.pdf and the tex source tb0hyf.tex. the most recent update was in november 2010.

taking a cue from egreg, the entire package, hyphenex, is available from ctan and is also part of tex live. the package includes the processing module and the preprocessed list, ushyphex, as well as the tugboat material.

for US-english run

kpsewhich ushyphex.tex

for TeXLive => $TEXMF/tex/generic/hyphenex/ushyphex.tex

I don't know if there is also an exception log for GB english.

this isn't the most recent version. tex live 2010 closed before the latest update; for that, you have to go to ctan. – barbara beeton Jul 12 '11 at 19:30
@Barbara: true, but I have TeXLive 2011 installed :-) – Herbert Jul 12 '11 at 20:24

it is part on every TeX installation ... – Herbert Jul 12 '11 at 13:31
@Herbert: is it also in MiKTeX minimal? – egreg Jul 12 '11 at 14:40
Thanks a lot! I am not at all surprised that I have it somewhere in my texlive installation - but I did not know the filename... – mbork Jul 12 '11 at 21:53
@Herbert: Unfortunately, no, it is not part of every TeX installation. For example, it is not included in SWP 5.50 (and that is the recent version of SWP, mackichan.com/products/swp.html ). – Stephen Sep 12 '11 at 8:40
@Stephen: A TeX distribution is MiKTeX or TeXLive – Herbert Sep 12 '11 at 16:34
