Subject: ispell misalignment with hunspell when Unicode apostrophe is used
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 15:40:05 +0100

Hello,

I’ve noticed that when ispell.el (Emacs 24.4.1) is using hunspell (v.
1.3.3) to spell-check a buffer containing the typographically correct
apostrophe («’»; U+2019), ispell will error out with the message
«ispell misalignment».

The problem can be reproduced by setting ispell-program-name to
«hunspell», and spell-checking a buffer containing the string «abc’s
zzz». This yields the following error:

> ispell-process-line: Ispell misalignment: word `zzz' point 9; probably incompatible versions

This seems to be a regression from 24.3, where hunspell support was
working (with the caveat that the apostrophe had to be manually added
to the dictionary’s «OTHERCHARS»).

Best regards,
Tobias
