Hello, I can't to use spellchecker. Accented letters and ñ, Ñ are not recognized by ispell, aspell. I try to use ispell from command line but I can't said nothing to ispell about char enconding. How I can workaround and get spellcheck my lyx file? Thanks Marcelo
Common problem for unicode users, because lyx doesn't support unicode. That cause trouble when the spellchekcer expects unicode while lyx gives it iso8859 encoded text. Here's what I do: 1. Start an xterm or similiar command line 2. Figure out what LANG setting you have, like this: echo $LANG I get nb_NO.UTF-8, you probably have something else. Change to a LANG without the UTF-8 part. In my case: export LANG=nb_NO Then run lyx from the same xterm, so it uses the modified language. You should still get the lyx GUI in your language, assuming it is translated. And now the spellchecker works too. :-) Fixing this is planned for lyx 1.5.0, which will have unicode support. Helge Hafting
