There have been no relevant changes in the pidgin code. The more likely scenario is that you've installed something else that has overridden/replaced the aspell stuff on your machine. Another possibility is that the language in which pidgin is running is different than the languages of any dictionaries you have installed. I suggest uninstalling aspell and your dictionaries via "Add/Remove Programs" in the control panel, then reinstalling both aspell and a dictionary manually as the FAQ specifies: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing%20Pidgin#IsthereawaytoinstallSpell-checkingsupportAspellmanually -D _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
