We should upgrade the aspell version from 0.50.1 to 0.50.2 It has a number of fixes. It fixes bug #8734. From the Changelog: Changes from 0.50.1 to 0.50.2 (Sep 28, 2002) * Fixed a number of bugs in ispell compatibility mode * Fixed a number of bugs with the handling of replacement pairs * Other miscellaneous bug fixes * Additional Win32 portability fixes * Added the Ukrainian KOI8-U charset. I just ran "cp aspell-0.50.1.ebuild aspell-0.50.2.ebuild" to get the new ebuild. There are no major changes in 0.50.2 aside from bug fixes AFAIK. After I upgraded aspell, evolution, abiword, and koffice all seemed to spell check correctly. Arun (aka sindian)
Created attachment 4430 [details] new aspell ebuild This is the exact same ebuild as before. I just changed the filename. It seems to work.
thanks sindian :P
