Hi :) Would it help to add the dictionaries of the other languages? Sorry, i'm sure someone else has thought of this idea too but i often find the simplest "waggle the wires" type of answers get overlooked. Regards from Tom :)

I thought of that, but that works if you only have a couple of words with non-standard characters. I write a lot in Swedish and German (among other languages), both languages with lots of those characters. So I'll probably loose more time building replacement lists than just making a row of the most occurring charters in vim and copying that to each document after opening it. From that row I copy the characters needed when writing. It is cumbersome, but as a temporary measure it is workable. > But really, it should work.

But somehow it doesn't in LibreOffice (it does in the version provided by aptitude).
