I'm running Ubuntu Linux 6.06 that comes with Aspell 0.60.4. I see two problems related to Unicode. This system uses UTF-8 by default, and I'm trying to leave ISO 8859-1 behind all together. 1. I'm trying to create my own master dictionary. Is it impossible to have the word list in utf-8? Section 7.1 of the web documentation seems to say so, http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/The-Language-Data-File.html 2. The output from "aspell -l sv dump master" is in broken utf-8. If the command is prefixed with LC_CTYPE=iso8859-1 and the output is piped through "recode l1..u8", all is fine. But without this, aspell's dump command converts to UTF-8 but truncates the words. For example, in the 5 letter word "själv" the middle letter a-umlaut is coded in UTF-8 as two bytes (octal 0303 0244), but the output string is truncated to 5 bytes: "s", "j", "\0303", "\0244", "l" and the last "v" is missing. -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se
