I agree with Enrico that in this particular case LyX is not to blame, but the problem is more general: LyX simply asks for a dictionary that is named after the document language and does not check at all whether that is a vlid dictionary name. That works well in many cases, but not in all, and I think we need a translation list LyX language name -> dictionary name for all supported languages and dictionaries.

Note that the libaspell support works well, since it uses language codes (e.g. en_US, sv_SE) instead of language names (english, swedish). I'd be all for dropping ispell support in the LyX Debian package and just tell people to use aspell. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You are right, I thought that the ispell dictionary names were used for all spell checkers, but that is wrong. > I'd be all for dropping ispell support in the LyX Debian > package and just tell people to use aspell. For debian that makes sense, because we know that a usable aspell exists, for the generic source package I'd keep it.
