Hi Atsuhito, Thank you for your reply. I think the problem may be due to the inconsistence between texworks and the new policy of Debian spelling dictionaries and tools.
According to the new policy (see e.g. http://dict-common.alioth.debian.org/dsdt-policy.html#installdir), the new location of the installed hunspell/myspell dictionaries should be /usr/share/hunspell/ rather than the old location /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ Both myspell-en-us and hunspell-en-us packages have correct settings in this sense except that hunspell-en-us no longer maintains symlinks under /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ Please see http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/hunspell-en-us/filelist and http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/myspell-en-us/filelist for reference. However, it seems that texworks does not know this and still looks only the old location /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ I thinks that is why texworks has no spell check when hunspell-en-us instead of myspell-en-us is installed. Hope this is helpful for you to reproduce and investigate the problem. Thank you for your time.
