Please tell more details about the problem, so we could investigate it and attempt to fix it whatever needs fixing. Specifically, we need to know the following: . in what language is the above text written? . what spell-checking program do you use as the back-end for ispell-buffer? is it Aspell, Hunspell, Enchant, something else? . what dictionary for the above language do you have installed, and where can that dictionary be obtained? . what are the signs of "breakage" of ispell-buffer for the above text? please post any error messages or other indications of problems that you observe when you invoke ispell-buffer on that text . on what Operating System do you see the problem, and in which version of Emacs?

After you invoke ispell-buffer for the first time in an Emacs session, type M-: ispell-program-name RET and tell what it displays. If it says your spell-checking program is Ispell, then the above error message is expected: Ispell does not support languages whose text cannot be encoded in single-byte encoding, while the text you show needs something like UTF-8 to encode. Also, type this: M-: ispell-current-dictionary RET and tell what it displays. Thanks. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

See: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjbPi00k_ME > > ispell-program-name => "ispell" > > ispell-current-dictionary => "american" Using the American English dictionary for spell-checking that language is hardly useful. You need to install a dictionary for the language and the use "M-x ispell-change-dictionary" to switch to that dictionary. Only after that the use of ispell-buffer can be expected to produce useful results. > I would say that ispell has a bug that is so big that you cannot see that it is a bug! Should we call such a bug > a > 'continental bug'? It's a known limitation of Ispell the program. That program is obsolete for many years, for that reason. I suggest to install Hunspell or Aspell, together with the dictionary for that language, and then Emacs will be able to spell-check this text. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Thanks so much to all concerned. Gmail/compose is hereby declared to be not only a great, 'free' grammar error detector, but also a great replacement to ispell. I recently used Gmail/compose to find hundreds of typos in the sources for ACL2. Gmail/compose has no trouble with: ōm namō bhagavatē śrī aruṇācala ramaṇāya I did not have to install this-or-that. Gmail is broadminded. Try to catch up! I realize that "free" means "nothin left to lose". Freedom's just another word for nothin left to lose. -- Kris Kristofferson sung by Janis Joplin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfjon-ZTqzU Gmail is free.
