Anyway, after installing the aspell-en package, I can spell English text, though LyX still shows me that it is using ispell, and installing aspell dictionaries should have changed nothing. Trying to spell sometning in Estonian from LyX with ispell still cives complaints about missing et_EE word list. Which is strange, because "en" and "et_EE" are aspell terminology and as far as I know, ispell does not use such naming of languages. So in the end of the day, I suspect that LyX 1.3.6 has a bug of still trying to use aspell, even if ispell is chosen in Preferences -> Spellchecker. Or is is the problem between the chair and the computer? Jan
