The word list is likely in iso-8859-1 but Aspell expects it in utf-8.
Does this mean that aspell expects the word lists to have the same
charset as the machine? Isn't that a little odd?
I don't understand the question.
de.dat sets 'charset' as iso-8859-1:
# cat de.dat
# Generated with Aspell Dicts "proc" script version 0.50.1
name de
charset iso-8859-1
soundslike de
affix de
Does aspell not use this to determine the charset? If not, /shouldn't/
it?
Yes it should.
I just tried
/usr/bin/prezip-bin -d < de-common.cwl | /usr/bin/aspell --lang=de create
--encoding=iso8859-1 master ./de-common.rws
Something is wrong. The "--encoding=iso8859-1" should not be necessary.
It should be using the value from "charset" in "de.dat". Try setting your
locale to "C" and see if it makes a difference.
A couple of questions:
Is this going to conflict with my machines character encoding, or
has aspell created an rws file for a utf-8 system?
No. Aspell will convert between encoding as necessary.
Is the machine character encoding check a feature? It really seems
that since one might attemp to install the same wordlist on machines
with different character encodings that this is prone to failure.
Hu?
