Hello,

I just skimmed through the pdf of the german version of the developer's  
handbook and noticed some problems with syllabification at the end of  
lines.

Examples:
	filename "fromboz.c" printed as
		from-
		boz.c

	"/usr/share/mk" printed as
		/
		share/mk

	"Option -o" printed as
		Option -
		o

 From the english version:
	"<des at FreeBSD.org>" printed as
		<des at FreeB-
		SD.org>

Plus, in some paragraphs nearly all lines end with a hyphen; I think that  
makes the whole hard to read.

If possible, I would turn syllabification off altogether.


Regards,

Michael
