Partly resolved: I went mucking through the installed packages and found out this: hunspell-en-us, language-support-en and language-support-writing-en are INSTALLED myspell-en-gb and myspell-en-za are INSTALLED myspell-en-us is NOT INSTALLED hunspell dictionaries for en_GB and en_ZA are NOT INSTALLED When I mark myspell-en-us for installation, the package tools mark hunspell-en-us, language-support-en and language-support-writing-en for uninstallation. My locale lang is en_US.UTF-8. When I fired up the GNOME language support tool, it informed me that language-pack-kde-en, language-pack-kde-en-base, language-pack-kde-en are NOT installed (and offered the option to install, which I took). Language-pack-gnome-en was already installed. The desktop language support issue is a side issue which I am mentioning for completeness' sake. I use both KDE4 and GNOME.
When I switch my openoffice document language to en_GB (UK English), things work like a beauty. What I do not understand is: - what is the difference between the hunspell and myspell dictionaries? Can Openoffice spellcheck using both? - which is "THE" appropriate en_US dictionary package? Marcel, I suspect that the solution to your issue shall be similar. Right now, I will install myspell-en-us and report back on the results.
