Description

A lot of languages have hyphenation definitions under non permissive license. Therefore they are not included in hyper.

Support hyphenation loading at runtime! This would allow typst to better support more languages for which permissive license hyphenation files are not available and can not be included in hypher.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by tracing how hyphenation definitions are currently included and selected, then determine the runtime-loading boundary. Done means language definitions with non-permissive licenses can be loaded at runtime without being bundled in hypher.
