It actually works pretty well. I use both Estonian and Finnish here and both of them are generated from Ispell. I agree that generating from ispell is not ideal for languages that are more complex, like Altaic or Ugric ones, though. > In fact ispell dictionary should die at all for estonian as soon as we'll > have hunspell dictionary ready for users. For that I agree and now is a good time to start migrating. FYI, according to Harri Pitkänen, hunspell is already the default in Open Office 2.0.2, which is scheduled for release in a few weeks. As a user, you can help by filing wishlist bugs on all your other favorite applications that currently use either aspell, gnomespell, ispell or myspell, requesting that spellchecking be migrated to hunspell. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
