I reenabled that and now Evolution correctly spell checks. As for Open Office I've decided to wait until I'm there for Christmas to look at it. I seem to have a reasonable set of things installed on his system: gandalf ~ # eix -Ic spell [I] app-dicts/aspell-en (0.51.1): English (US, British, Canadian) language dictionary for aspell [I] app-text/aspell (0.50.5-r4): A spell checker replacement for ispell [I] app-text/gnome-spell (1.0.7-r1): Gnome spellchecking component [I] app-text/gtkspell (2.0.11-r1): Spell checking widget for GTK2 Found 4 matches. gandalf ~ # Thanks very much for the ideas. Cheers, Mark I seem to have reasonable things installed: -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
