You are right, and now I see why this happens, still do not know why I did not reproduce this before (surely I did something wrong, probably using a plain file, not a tex one) When ispell reads a .tex file both deformatter and charset are set to tex giving the behavior described in #61956. To deal with this you just need to explicitely specify the charset, e.g., for spanish $ ispell -dspanish -Tlatin1 test.tex works as expected. For italian or french something like $ ispell -ditalian -Tlist test.tex should work. David, I am merging both bugreports and bcc'ing original submitters. I think this is rather a feature than a bug, and both bugreports can probably be closed, but better waiting for feedback from submitters. [I am subscribed to ispell bugs, no need to cc me] -- Agustin
