Just in case you didn’t see it, https://github.com/tatzetwerk/luatex-harfbuzz seems to have a good approach for handling hyphenation.

I have seen it…but I can’t say it was easy to follow the code. Mostly because it has three different variations in one repo. Could you point me to a file or function I can look at?

I didn’t look into the code before, my suggestion was based on the paper and quick testing. The code looks needlessly convoluted indeed, but closer look shows that all the interesting code is in font-hb.lua. The code that handles hyphenations seems to be https://github.com/tatzetwerk/luatex-harfbuzz/blob/master/luatex-harfbuzz/font-hb.lua#L389-L510.

I did receive a mail from the authors, but I don’t recall seeing any paper. Is it possible to get access to this paper? If it’s not available online, could you please mail it to me at deepak.jois@gmail.com (if that’s okay with you). Thanks!

The paper is on the repository, the top level.
