Subject: bug#11200: 24.0.95; ispell.el sets incorrect encoding for the default dictionary
Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2012 12:31:55 +0300
In ispell.el we see:

  (defvar ispell-dictionary-base-alist
    '((nil
       ;; The default dictionary.  It may be English.aff, or any other
       ;; dictionary depending on locale and such things.  We should probably
       ;; ask ispell what dictionary it's using, but until we do that, let's
       ;; just use an approximate regexp.
       "[[:alpha:]]" "[^[:alpha:]]" "[']" nil ("-B") nil iso-8859-1)

The iso-8859-1 part is not the optimal choice for aspell and hunspell.
These spell-checkers support UTF-8 encoding, so using utf-8 here will
DTRT in a much larger number of locales.  With iso-8859-1, any
non-Latin locale will require the user to customize
ispell-local-dictionary-alist, when there's no real reason for forcing
them do that.

Please include some simple logic to use utf-8 with the default
dictionary, when the speller is aspell or hunspell.
