Hi Pierre,

try to add French language identifier(s) as returned by the call

  (Param.get 'Language)

to punctuation-punc-languages variable defined at the beginning of
punctuation.scm file and tell me whether it helps.

One of the practical problems with Festival is that there is no fixed
text processing schema, so it's impossible to handle all possible
situations in festival-freebsoft-utils nor it is easy to define what's
correct or compatible.  We have to resolve each problem individually.

BTW, what package do you use for French in Festival?
