I did! Before I posted - I used email-lists as a last resort.
I have tryed with utf-8 everywhere where it could matter, and I have also tryed
iso-8859-1-dos . I have try to instruct Emacs to use for LANG as in
sv_SE.iso8859-1-dos,
and so on.
I have just tryed it again - it does no changes at all. Here are setting I used
with utf-8 instead:
(after 'ispell
(message "loading spellchecker")
(defvar *load-start* (current-time))
(defun anarcat/time-to-ms (time)
(+ (* (+ (* (car time) (expt 2 16)) (car (cdr time))) 1000000) (car (cdr
(cdr time)))))
(add-to-list 'ispell-dictionary-alist '(("svenska"
"[A-ZÖÄÅa-zöäå]"
"[^A-ZÖÄÅa-zöäå]"
"[']"
nil
("-d" "sv_SE")
t
utf-8)
("svenska8"
"[A-ZÖÄÅa-zöäå]"
"[^A-ZÖÄÅa-zöäå]"
"[']"
nil
("-B" "-d" "sv_SE")
t
utf-8)
("english"
"[[:alpha:]]"
"[^[:alpha:]]"
"[']"
t
("-d" "en_US")
nil
utf-8)))
(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist ispell-dictionary-alist)
(setq ispell-hunspell-dictionary-alist ispell-dictionary-alist)
(setq ispell-dictionary "english")
(setq-default ispell-program-name "hunspell")
(setq ispell-extra-args '("-i" "utf-8"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c d") 'switch-dictionary-sv-en))
And settings for Emacs to use utf-8
(set-language-environment 'utf-8)
(setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
