Using 1.5.3 Rev 21438<br>
<br>
I had the en_us installed and it didn't want to spell check.<br>
<br>
With my environment LANG variable being set to en_AU.UTF-8 I then installed the hunspell_en_au dictionary, but again, no spell checking.<br>
<br>
I then installed hunspell_en_gb and spell checking proceeded without any problem.<br>
<br>
All a bit of a mystery to me but as I don't use the spell checker, something I had not bothered about<br>
