Re: spell check on windows

 

I gotta believe that if the dependency chain can be well defined, it would just be a matter of installing those dependencies in the right places.  Perhaps the win distro could even be updated to include those in the packaging.

I'll down the source and investigate if I have to but does anyone know what the dependency chain looks like?

Zim -> gtk+ -> gtkspell -> pyenhcant -> enchant (native)?

This order correct? Missing anything?

I'm a pretty new user, but no, not that I've been able to find.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
