It seems to fix the hyphenation problem :).
But not the mgp2ps one :(.

I added 'setlocale(LC_ALL, "");' at the beginning of main() in mgp.c and
print.c, was it exactly what you suggested ?
Maybe there's a Postscript related problem too (I don't know anything about
this) ?

BTW, is 1.04a the latest release, or is there something newer available (and
where) ?
