I use ispell with the british dictionary. In LyX 1.6.1 (on ubuntu intrepid) you can set this in Tools->Preferences->Language_Settings->Spellchecker. Just select ispell from the Spellchecker executable at the top, then type in "british" in the "Alternative language" textbox.
You probably need to have the ispell and ibritish packages installed for this to work. Cameron. Doug Laidlaw wrote: > The authors of aspell must be really parochial.
