Please download the following files: --- http://www.pixware.fr/_download/apostrophe_en/xsc.jar 115063bytes, Fri Jan 30 08:25:53 PM CET 2009 http://www.pixware.fr/_download/apostrophe_en/en.dar 316349bytes, Fri Jan 30 08:26:36 PM CET 2009 --- [1] Replace XXE_install_dir/bin/xsc.jar by the downloaded xsc.jar This new xsc.jar saves personal dictionaries using the UTF-8 encoding. The stock xsc.jar saves personal dictionaries using the ISO-8859-1 encoding. [2] Replace XXE_install_dir/addon/spell/en.dar by the downloaded en.dar This new en.dar considers the real apostrophe (copied from the email you sent us) as %noninitial and %nonfinal character in addition to '-', '.', "'". *IMPORTANT* you'll have to do that for each new release of XMLmind XML Editor until we find the good strategy to solve your problem. The downloaded xsc.jar and en.dar are guaranteed to be compatible with the future releases. [3] Just to avoid possible problems, we also recommend to delete all your current personal dictionaries. These dictionaries are found in directory XXE_user_preferences_dir/spell/ where XXE_user_preferences_dir/ is: * $HOME/.xxe4/ on Linux. * $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor4/ on the Mac. * %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows 2000, XP, Vista. Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows 2000 and XP. C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows Vista.
