Description Daniel Scharrer 2015-12-16 22:58:14 UTC

The en_US.aff and en_CA.aff dictionaries define their encoding as "SET UTF8" while hunspell expects "SET UTF-8". The other dictionaries in the package (en_AU, en_GB, en_ZA) use the correct syntax.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
echo "Hello world!" | LANG="en_US.utf-8" hunspell
Actual Results:  
error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback
Hunspell 1.3.3

Expected Results:  
No errors.

Changing the two affected .aff files to use "SET UTF-8" fixes the issue.

This should probably go upstream.

Comment 2 Elizabeth Myers 2016-03-05 01:44:01 UTC

This should be an upstream bug. I will consider a patch to the dictionary files, if possible.
