Hi Chris, Yes, Akan's letters, the capital open o and e are in latin extended B, small open o and e are in IPA extensions: http://www.myfonts.com/Language?id=388 http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0250.pdf > > 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. I work on a new version of Myspell, called Hunspell. I have planned to implement a full Unicode support this summer. I hope, the only change in syntax of the resource files will be the possibility of using UTF-8. Regards, Laci > > Regards > Chris Manuh > > > > Yahoo! Mail > Stay connected, organized, and protected.
