General ⇒ acronym package and hyphenation

[corderin]

I have a problem with the acronym package, this package seems to avoid the acronym hyphenation and that generates bad boxes, I would like to disable this behaviour but I don´t find how...

Does anybody know how to force acronyms to be hyphenated?

After some testing, I found out that acronym inserts an empty hbox after each acronym which prevents hyphenation. For the curious: Line 231 in acronym.sty. To avoid this, you have to redefine the \AC@get macro:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*\AC@get[3]{%
    \ifx#1\relax
       \PackageWarning{acronym}{Acronym `#3' is not defined}%
       \textbf{#3!}%
    \else
       \expandafter#2#1%
    \fi}
\makeatother

Perhaps you could inform the package author about this issue.
