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.)
