Is that reported in bugzilla? If not, please do that. BTW, there is no beta. There is 1.4.0pre1, pre2 and pre3. > So unless there will be another maintenance release of 1.3.* > branch, this bugreport wiould not change much... That is true as long as the particular bug is not present in 1.4.0pre3. No work is done on the 1.3 branch anymore, 1.3.7 with the accumulated fixes since 1.3.6 will be out soon. Georg

Yes, and the reason is that aspell-et used to be a dead branch of an old student project, with ispell having a much better dictionary. But I will take a look, perhaps aspell has improved (actually it might). > Lyx using aspell even when you specify ispell is a bug, consider registering > the bug at bugzilla.lyx.org Before doing that -- does anyone else have a similar problem? LyX 1.4.0beta seems to handle ispell better (apart from the fact that spelling in 1.4.0beta is broken in general, but that's due to being beta). So unless there will be another maintenance release of 1.3.* branch, this bugreport wiould not change much... Thanx anyway, Jan

Perhaps your ispell don't support all of these. (I usually have to use "British", not "English", for example.) Also check to see that your lyx really uses ispell, lyx may also use "aspell" which uses other dictionaries. In that case, install the english dictionary for aspell. Helge Hafting

LyX 1.3.6 and ispell problem
Hi all! On my Arch Linux box I installed LyX 1.3.6 and the latest ispell package (3.2.06-4) that comes with the English dictionary. However, when trying to check an English document, I get 'No word lists can be found for the language "en" '. I don't remember such a message from earlier LyX installations. Any idea where it comes from or what to do about it? Best regards, Jan

Ispell Problem
Hello all, I have just finished installing Lyx on a win2k machine running Cygwin. When I want to spell check the document, the GUI freezes and it tells me that the spell checker has died and that I should install a dictionary. I am using American/English. I thought the dictionaries for these languages are installed by default and in fact I am able to see the hash files. In the spell checker settings, I have use the document's default language dictionary which is English. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time and help. Amer
