I meant that .emacs might have been erroneously saved as utf8 (that sometimes happens, e.g., that recently happened to me with a .procmailrc that tried to exclude some >128 chars combinations, and was accidentally saved a utf8, so the strings were not correct and everything was messed up)
OK, that definitely DID happen with my test .emacs. I fixed it with recode, and then (to avoid switching my .emacs around all the time) put it in a file called emacs.ispell and ran emacs with
emacs -q -l emacs.ispell
I am completely puzzled by this, because is working like a charm here (in a woody box, but I am sure ?? I tested it also in a sid box before Easter). Can you please add to your .emacs file
(setq debian-dict-common-debug "yes")
It says:
- dictionaries d-i-d:nil d-a-d:nil i-l-d:british+accs
This is the only line I can find that corresponds to the codes you mention.
