I had the same problems. This is due to a lacking parameter '-latin1' in
the call of the ispell checker.

Therefore I wrote  a simple script as a quick'n'dirty workaround:

#!/bin/bash
TEXMACSBINARY=/usr/bin/texmacs
ISPELLBINARY=/usr/bin/ispell

#Workaround for some languages
#'adds' the switch '-latin1' to the ispell process invoked by TeXmacs
alias ispell=$ISPELLBINARY -latin1

if test -x $TEXMACSBINARY; then
    echo Launching $TEXMACSBINARY $*...
    $TEXMACSBINARY $*
else
   echo $TEXMACSBINARY not found or not executable.
fi
exit $?

This works fine for me and my TeXmacs 1.0.0.16.
But of course I would appreciate a fix for this problem in a further
TeXmacs release. :)

hth,
regards,
Philipp
