Re: spelling in kate

[Rigo Wenning]

I found the solution:

Ispell is unable to handle utf-8 documents. As HTML is utf-8 by default I have 
configured all my system utf-8. As there is no utf-8 dictionary (and I 
haven't found one except for german), ispell fails. Aspell emulates utf-8, 
but is not native and has still some trouble. So this is a problem upstream. 

Unfortunately the bugreports concerning the issue were closed. Might be a good 
item for a whishlist as I assume more and more people will take utf-8 as 
their default locale.

Thanks a lot for the answer.

I use aspell. Works fine.
I would suggest using a tool like strace (ltrace) - maybe it will give a hint, 
where kate is looking ispell for.
