Subject: 29.2; ispell considers that entries in the private ispell 
Date: Thu, 08 Aug 2024 18:47:55 +0200

Hi

I have used ispell+flyspell for many years, and have also added words
not found in the ispell dictoionaries to my private lists, for example

.ispell_castellano

contains words like

acreditación

saved in UTF8.
That was never a problem.

now it is:

Steps to reprocuce the problem (provided you have a private wordlist in
UTF8)

1. emacs -Q
2. load the file containing
(setq  ispell-program-name "ispell")
(autoload 'flyspell-mode "flyspell" "On-the-fly spelling checking" t)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell)
  
(setq flyspell-issue-message-flag nil)
  
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-on-flyspell)

  (defun turn-on-flyspell ()
    "Turn on FlySpell minor mode."
    (flyspell-mode t))
  
open a file:

%%  -*-coding: utf-8;ispell-local-dictionary: "castellano8";-*-

nacion

mark the region containing the word nacion, run ispell-region

the following error appears
Starting new Ispell process ispell with castellano8 dictionary...done
ispell-init-process: @(#) International Ispell Version 3.4.06 30 Oct 2023
Word 'zoonóticas' contains illegal characters

Word 'Zacarías' contains illegal characters

Word 'Vázquez' contains illegal characters


any idea what is the reason for this (new) behavior? Shall I save the
list in latin-1? (I did and the message disappears, but I am still
puzzled)

regards

Uwe Brauer

If it's really Ispell that you are using (not Aspell or Hunspell that
pretend to be Ispell), then you cannot use UTF-8, because Ispell
doesn't support it.  You must use 8-bit encoding such as Latin-1.

Ok I used (setq  ispell-program-name "ispell")

I tried now tried out aspell but then I receive 
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Error: The file \"/usr/lib/aspell/deutsch\" can not be opened for reading.")

Hm I think I stick with latin-1.

You need to make sure the dictionaries you want to use are installed.
In this case, you seem to lack the dictionary for German.

> Hm I think I stick with latin-1.

As you wish.

Anyway, there's no bug here, so I'm closing this.

Another problem, now changed to latin-1 I receive an error using latin-1

Please start from "emacs -Q".  If you get this error in that case as
well, post a complete recipe.  If "emacs -Q" works, look into your
customizations for the culprit.
