Package: ispell Version: 3.1.20.0-4.4 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line ***
I need to spell check latex documents written in English that have traditional Chinese characters in UTF8 format, in various places. I want to spell check the English (and ignore the Chinese). Using Spell-Check Buffer with ispell, it stops working at the problematic lines with the following error message e.g. : Chan$^4$ Fu$^3$ Keung$^4$ (??????????????????), a student of Jiu$^6$ Juk$^1$ Kai$^1$ (??????????????????), % In the *Messages* buffer in emacs22.2, % Spell-checking spell_test.tex using ispell with british dictionary... % Spell-checking spell_test.tex using ispell with british dictionary done % ispell-process-line: Ispell misalignment: word `Jiu' point 69; probably incompatible versions btw: I contacted the upstream maintainer who informed me that this is a very old bug and not present in the current version of ispell, which is 3.3.02. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ispell depends on: ii dictionaries-common 0.98.12 Common utilities for spelling dict ii ibritish [ispell-dictiona 3.1.20.0-4.4 A British English dictionary for i ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages ispell recommends: ii wbritish [wordlist] 6-2.3 British English dictionary words f ii wbritish-huge [wordlist] 6-2.3 British English dictionary words f Versions of packages ispell suggests: pn spell <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
