I'm trying to create a myspell dictionary for akan
language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akan_language)
as part of our localization efforts. so far i've
managed to get ispell and aspell 0.60 to work to some
extent (ispell tested with koffice and aspell on the
command line). the goal for us to get a myspell
dictionary. the problem we're facing is that the there
isn't a one specific character set that contains all
the characters we need (A-Z, Ɛ U+0190, Ɔ
U+0186) these two extra characters do not have
non-continuous unicode (latin extended A and B)

with aspell 0.6 i can extend the iso-8859-1 map to
include other characters. is it possible to do the
same for myspell.
i also managed to create a myspell dictionary with the
TRY string set to A to Z plus those two utf-8
characters above and it seems to work well with the
standalone myspell. the charset was set to iso-8859-1
which is obviously wrong but it didn't seem to matter.
it was able to flag down misspelled words. if we
decide to go what we currently have (wrong charset)
what kind of problems can we expect to experience.
