I turns out that Andrius was a little off-base: GEdit uses GSpell which in turn
uses Enchant 2.2. Enchant 2.2 claims to support AppleSpell as-is. Even
Andrius's own project, Bluefish, uses Enchant 2.2.
Enchant 2 is about 3 1/2 years old and Enchant 1 isn't maintained any more, so
it's obsolete. So, for that matter, is GtkSpell, which also hasn't had any love
for 3 years or so. Hunspell's last release was 2 1/2 years ago and while there
was a flurry of activity a year go the total is only 11 commits since and none
in the last year.
There's no module in Gtk-OSX for GSpell and nobody's ever asked for one, so I'm
inclined to declare that spelling infrastructure is out-of-scope for Gtk-OSX;
projects that need it are probably using their own modules.
Can anyone make a convincing case to the contrary?
Regards,
John Ralls
