ABSTRACT:
The hierarchy of the hyphenation points in a word is considered and the amount of space remaining in the line where the hyphenated word is to fit is determined, thus selecting the best hyphenation point for the word. Instead of selecting the last possible hyphen within the hot zone, the hot zone is scanned to find hyphenation points that may be better than the last hyphen within the hot zone. The higher a hyphenation point is in the hierarchy, the more preferred is the hyphen.
