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. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aspell-fr depends on: ii aspell 0.60.6-1 GNU Aspell spell-checker ii dictionaries-common 0.98.12 Common utilities for spelling dict aspell-fr recommends no packages. aspell-fr suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
