Hi, Kurt and James, I am temporarily reassigning this bug report to both vim and dictionaries-common-dev, so vim maintaners are aware of it and can share their POV. I will not go anywhere without their approval. I have been looking at https://github.com/vim/vim/tree/master/runtime/spell and http://snapshot.debian.org/package/vim-spellfiles/ to have an idea about this issue. Seems vim uses myspell dictionaries (or early hunspell dicts). Current hunspell dicts normally use a number of things that seem unsupported by vim spellchecker, so while using recent hunspell dicts may appear to work, it will likely work worse than old files. I can think of two approaches, resurrecting vim-spellfiles package and/or creating vim dicts from packages currently using a myspell dict (normally as a source for aspell dict). Have to ellaborate a bit more. James, ¿what do you think about this? Regards, -- Agustin
