XXE don't have spell checker for the most languages, for understandable reason anyway. Many of them (like mine, Hungarian) require complex language-specific spell checker algorithms, so there is no chance anyone will contribute them as a dictionary plugin. But, couldn't XXE reuse the spell checkers of Open Office? AFAIK it's LGPL, so you can link to it in a commercial closed-source product. Yeah, you had to suffer with native code, etc, but having a spell checker (an on-the-fly one) is IMHO quite a critical feature for something that's basically a word processor. And after that investment your could suddenly support tons of extra languages (which together is surely a big market) virtually for free, not to mention that even for English it would provide higher quality and possibly more features. Anyway... I just wonder if you have considered this, whether the investment would come back. (I would think that for many users not having a spell checker in a word processor is a major issue. Surely it's that for me... for that reason I would only use XXE for English text.)
