But it would still leave the distro with the decision about what backends for enchant to use to install, but it would enable a selective pick and choose between dictionary backends. So another solution might be to, e.g. a) get OOo to using enchant b) get thunderbird to use enchant c) not pick a single dictionary library backend, e.g. install aspell & hunspell and maybe even hspell d) pick and choose those apps which dictionaries for the above to install depending on the best support for the language, e.g. aspell by default, default to hunspell for more complex languages and hspell for hebrew C. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
