Thank.
Yes I am on XP Home. For some reason I have been forgetting to specify this in
this thread.
I simply installed ASPELL and ran a reconfigure. Spell checker seems to be
working now.
Do you think that I should reinstall anyway in case I am missing some
functionality that I have not noticed is missing?
I have noticed that I seem to be missing the phvr8t font when I try to output a
tufte-book document to dvi although the document exports to pdf with no problem
and I am not clear if this could be an installation problem or just a tufte-
book peculiarity as tufte seems to be in flux at the moment.
Thanks again
John
