Hi,
I have been able to install Aspell on Mac OSX. I've also downloaded
the Language Toolkit. However, I'm still a little lost with the
process. My needs are to create a word list for the Salish and
Kootenai languages. Some notes and questions...
1. Do I need to have Aspell installed to create a word list, or can I
just use the Language Toolkit?
2. The Salish and Kootenai alphabets use a subset of Unicode
codepoints (approximately 60 each) that are basically a subset of
IPA. I created what I believe is a valid character set.
3. Some unicode codepoints are not in the master Unicode.txt list
(such as U+2C62 and U+026B)...can they be added?
4. I've tried to run the command to build a word list in Aspell, but
get an error that the 'en' language cannot be found
5. If I need to uninstall Aspell, what commands should I use?
Any hints or tips are appreciated. My paltry geeky bits are not
getting what I need to from the docs.
Thanks,
Fred

Hi,
I developed several Unicode/Opentype fonts for the Salish and
Kootenai alphabets and now want to work on a dictionary to support
these fonts. I'm brand new to dictionaries, so I need some
assistance learning about Aspell. It appears that cocoAspell may be
a good solution for adding a dictionary to Mac OSX spelling
services. What I need to do now is create both Salish and a
Kootenai dictionaries that are based on Aspell. However, after
reviewing the information on the Aspell site, I don't know what I
specifically need to do to accomplish this on a Mac. I saw
instructions on how to use Fink to install Aspell...but I don't
believe I need to do this as I already have cocoAspell. Do I need
to install X11 and then run Aspell from within that to create a
dictionary?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred
