|Currently Firefox and other Mozilla products bundle the Hunspell spell-checking engine. It would be great if we could (perhaps optionally at build time and/or run-time) use the system dictionary. For example, that would let people use an existing "user dictionary" of words they've added in other applications. On Mac, there's [http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSSpellChecker_Class/Reference/Reference.html NSSpellChecker] and GTK applications seem to use [http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/ Enchant]. The simplest approach would probably be to add a build-time option to use Enchant or NSSpellChecker instead of Hunspell, with code #ifdefs to call those other APIs instead of Hunspell. | |||
