Hi all, Since a short while hunspell is able to handle ligatures. Additionally I fixed the problem that spell checking treated ligatures as word breaking characters (targeted to OOo 3.4 only though). Thus now everything is ready for spell checking ligatures.
Taking a look at the latest English dictionary collection (provided by Lazlo Nemeth, thanks!) that is already supporting ligatures, it looks like the only thing to do is to add a few lines to the affix file. It should have lines like this: ICONV ff ff ICONV fi fi ICONV fl fl ICONV ffi ffi ICONV ffl ffl ICONV ſt st ICONV st st Despite the second last entry looking like an 'ft' it should be an 'st'. See http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFB00.pdf For the more curious ones: http://babelstone.blogspot.com/2006/06/rules-for-long-s.html http://babelstone.blogspot.com/2006/07/long-and-short-of-letter-s.html Note: The CWS with the respective fix is NOT yet integrated, and will also not be part of OOo 3.3. I just wrote this mail now in order to not forget about it once the CWS is actually integrated.
