However, strangely, it did *break* spell-checking via the hunspell CLI. `hunspell test.txt` only works when my personal dictionary is named `~/.hunspell_en_US`. I believe the problem may stem from the fact that each application is using its own version of a user specified dictionary. For example, when you use spell-check with Thunderbird and select "Add to Dictionary" on a indicated word your selection will go into a file ~/.thunderbird/profilename/persdict.dat. And if you do the same with a LibreOffice application it will go to ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/wordbook/standard.dic . You will notice that when you used "hunspell -D" .config/libreoffice/4/user/wordbook is not included in the SEARCH PATH. Now, what one "could" do is, taking the Thunderbird example, link ~/.thunderbird/profilename/persdict.dat with ~/.hunspell_en_US. But that too presents a problem. While Tbird will read from the file it won't be able to write to the file to add new words as the selinux context won't allow for it as is. Applications don't seem to reference ~/.hunspell_LANG -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to get others to do the work for you _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
