Enchant is a wrapper library to pass the task of spell-checking to a real spell-checker of your choice. How this is done is documented for enchant, either locally (apropos enchant) or online. The point is to install and select (configure) the spell-checker you like. > However, it seems to me to have a deficiency, and I'm hoping it is just a > configuration issue: > > If my document contains e.g. the mathematical term "d-dimensional", the LyX > spellchecker will treat this as a single word and complain, instead of > considering it as a combination of two words to be checked independently.

When I'm using Hunspell as backend for LyX's spell-checker I don't have your problem. I don't know if it's the same with Enchant as a "relay"... but you may give it a try and configure Hunspell as your Enchant spell-checker engine. Stephan
