I know this may be flogging a dead horse, but unfortunately I have a
problem with pretty-printing even in newer versions.
All danish characters or characters with accents are displayed correct
in X, but when printed they appear as ? (capitol A with some accent
followed by some exotic character).
I have read through the approprate? thread from May 2003, and tried to
read through later sources with the change dated 030528, but the
solution eludes me.
I have tried all available snapshots and various cvs, yet the problem
prevails.
Is there some special compile-time option I need to invoke, or is it an
external problem perhaps? Any particular demands regarding the flavor
Ghostscript or other involved sw?
I am presently running Fedora Core 2, TkRat 2.2dev 20040824, 
GNU a2ps 4.13, GNU Ghostscript 7.07.

TIA.

Subject: Spell checking - how to configure
Message-ID: <20041114162529.6E9CDFE906@numa-i.igpm.rwth-aachen.de>

Hi,

I am running TkRat (CVS) and I have aspell-0.60 installed.
I cannot get spell checking configured.
When I go to Preferences->Spell checking
I have entered (the full path to) aspell under
'Ispell command'
but I don't see any dictionaries under 'Auto Dictionaries'
and I can't select anything different from 'Automatic' under
'Dictionary:'
And of course spell checking doesn't work. When activated
it keeps telling me that ispell 3.1 is not installed.
So, what am I missing?

Many thanks for a hint,

Message-ID: <20041129182639.969BF2EF9@tkrat.org>

Hello,

A number of people noted that some changes I did some time ago made
aspell no longer work with TkRat. The changes I did were meant to let
TkRat list which dictionaries you have available. I have now added
explicit support for aspell to TkRat. The new code should automatically
determine if you are running ispell or aspell and act accordingly.
