At least in unstable, you don't have to do anything special to invoke
that mode if you run it on a '.tex' file.  I don't think that's the
problem though, I think it's that it's finding the incorrect word but
highlighting the wrong word on the line.  I would suggest creating a
test file with a known misspelling and seeing if aspell corrects the
right portion of the text.  Either way, I'd check for bug reports on the
subject and potential work-arounds.
http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/aspell
is a good place to start.

If I recall correctly, aspell has a "tex/latex" mode which will cause it
to ignore the markup.  Would that help your problem?

Problem with aspell checking text in greek

2006-05-16 Thread Eftaxiopoulos Dimitrios
I have tried to spell check several Latex files written in greek. I use kile. 
It generally finds the mistakes but it highlights an irrelevant portion of 
text, usually portions from two words, close to the wrong word. It highlights 
at the same line, a few words before the wrong one. The replacements it 
suggests are generally correct, but I cannot use them since other portions of 
text will be replaced. So I do the corrections manually, by looking in the 
area of the highlight, trying to find the misspelled word and correct it by 
moving the cursor there. Not comfortable.

The texts I spellcheck are written in ISO-8859-7 encoding. I use sarge, 
stable, 2.6.8.
