I'm reallying enjoying Arch and pacman. One minor suggestion regarding the gtkspell package page would be to add a phrase that it uses aspell dictionaries that can also be installed with pacman, e.g. pacman -S aspell-en for the English dictionary. Just a thought since installing gtkspell by itself does not automatically result in functional spell checking until a dictionary is installed. The uninitiated can spend considerable time trying to unearth that little detail while trying to figure out why their installation of gtkspell isn't working.

Many thanks to all of you who make Arch such a great distribution.

gtkspell 2.0.11-1
http://gtkspell.sourceforge.net/
GtkSpell provides MSWord-style highlighting and replacement of
misspelled words in a GtkText widget, uses aspell dictionaries, e.g.
aspell-en for English or aspell-de for German etc. that can be installed with pacman
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  gtkspell depends on enchant now, which provides more than just aspell dictionaries. Aspell contains a message about dictionaries alreay.

gtkspell depends on enchant which depends on aspell which outputs "NOTE: aspell comes with no default dictionary" in post_install.

gtkspell's description is long enough already. :-/
