When I started out in Computers over 25 years ago, I got very interested in TeX and LaTeX and read a lot of the literature. One item that impressed me at the time - and still remember it, was that someone wrote a PhD thesis on hyphenation.
Frank Liang wrote his Stanford Ph.D. thesis on a hyphenation algorithm that is standard in TeX, and has been adapted to numerous languages. The Thesis is available online at http://www.tug.org/docs/liang/
Your application is both useful and well written. It will be very useful though to have the user specify the width of the column in pixels and the font and have a sample that renders the way it should.
