Dear Philippe,

Thank you for your answer.

I installed your Texmacs package : spell check worked, but for an unknown reason, Texmacs was using 25% of my CPU ressources, even when idle for 3 hours, and draining my laptop's battery.
The official Texmacs usually uses less than 1%...
I had to uninstall it.

I cannot find how to launch Aspell in the cmd anywhere on the manual.
All the formulas suggested return "aspell command unknown".


Thank you for your help.
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

The Texmacs for windows package I make comes with hunspell (a more modern
version of aspell) and the French dictionary preinstalled. With this setup,
the appropriate dictionary is automatically selected according to the
document's language. It's available here :
https://github.com/slowphil/mingw-w64-texmacs/releases/tag/svn12600%2Bextras
You can also check how and where the dictionaries are installed by looking
into that script :
https://github.com/slowphil/mingw-w64-texmacs/blob/master/PKGBUILD

The dictionary should also be automatically selected with aspell too. If you
really want to use aspell for some reason, you should debug your aspell
setup :  open a terminal window (cmd) and launch aspell from the command line
with the appropriate options, to see if it can find and use the French
dictionary you installed.

Best,
Philippe
