I should like to ask for your help in the following problem: in editing
Hungarian text in MiKTeX 2.9 under Windows 7, I noticed an unusually large
number of bad boxes and wrong hyphenation instances. The warning told me
hyphenation patterns could not be loaded. I tried to edit the Language
settings, and noticed that the accustomed New / Edit / Remove buttons are
missing from this tab. Without these, I could not set the correct hyphenation
file (huhyphn.tex).
Where I should see something , I can only see a list of languages and checkboxes, without a
file list and the three buttons on the right, making any editing impossible in
the graphical interface.
I managed to find a workaround: I located the language.dat file, rewritten the
relevant row in it, and ran initexmf --dump. Updating the format files from
the graphical interface would do no good since it always replaced my manual
insertions with the default (and ineditable) settings of the graphical
interface.
Although I have found a workaround, I should like to ask the community what
steps should be taken since this bug can affect a large number of people and
not just Hungarian users.
Yours faithfully
