Package: aspell-fr
Version: 0.50-3-6
Severity: wishlist

I tried to spell-check a document with the word "choeur", with the oe as
a ligature, in Emacs, and it was made obvious that the "oe" ligature was
not considered to be a word character.

In fact, there are no "oe" ligatures in the word lists, but it turns out
that if you add the ligature as a character to the dictionaries-common
declarations, then aspell does the right thing, and treats the ligature
as if it were the two letters "o" followed by "e".

In order to do this, I had to switch the declared encoding of the word
lists to ISO-8859-15, but this is fine, as the characters actually used
in the list are in both ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15.

I attach a new /var/lib/dictionaries-common/aspell-fr to achieve this
improvement.
