Spell checking does ispell and in order to provide German Umlaut support in conjunction with the new dictionary I placed the following lines into my .emacs: '(current-language-environment "German") '(default-input-method "german-postfix");; ??? '(enable-multibyte-characters nil) '(ispell-help-in-bufferp t) '(ispell-local-dictionary "deutsch8") '(set-language-environment "German") Seems like emacs recognizes German words, e.g. m=FCssen (must, have to). But ispell marks the whole word red and suggests _the same word_ from the spelling context menu! Meaning: "You should change "m=FCssen" to "m=FCssen". Okay, I cange (click on the suggested alternative). But the word remains marked red -- misspelled. Only picking up the word into my private dict ~/.ispell-private makes the mark dissappearing. The line in the private dict then represents mu"ssen I've found out that some distributed ispell German dicts contain a bug by representing German Umlaute with "u instead of u". So I changed the default dict with the sed command sed 's/"\(.\)/\1"/g' wrong-dictionary > proper-dictionary but emacs spelling behavior did not change. Anyone suggestions? Thanks a lot, S=F6ren from Germany. PS: Could you please reply via email, too.
