Hi,

I still didn't decided to go with texmacs, I'm trying now and again.
I like the way things are done when using it, and  the feeling of  
finished document when working on it.

I would like to use texmacs more extensively, but small problems  
prevent an effective use.
Things are getting better with each release, even the easiness of use  
and the documentation, but some more descriptive documentation, and/or  
some example would let to take full advantage of TexMacs  
possibilities. What is more frustrating to me is that it seems that  
TexMacs is rich of features... but hidden somewhere.

Anyway, I will not give up. Here is my question.
One and a half year ago there was a problem with spell check for  
accented letters  (at least for the italian language), and still the  
problem is here (I am using  version 1.0.7.15). Is there any advance,  
or workaround?
The old post follows.

  Thanks,

 Davide
