Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emacs23
when activating spell-checking via aspell and choosing a dictionary like
"brasileiro", words with letters like "รง" (c-cedilla) are not correctly
recognized; in flyspell-mode, it appears that emacs uses the "unknown"
characters as word boundaries. The problem has probably to do with 1)
not passing the charcater set correctly to the aspell process (aspell
*can* check texts in UTF-8 when called from the command line and 2) the
setting of ispell-dictionary-alist etc., where iso-8859-1 is hard-coded
as character set for most non-english languages.
