Re: [Texmacs-dev] Darcy's Plan for the next release

[TeXmacs]

Hi again Darcy,

I just got more info from Denis about spell checking under Windows.
It seems that aspell is not really an option and that the Qt solution
only works in certain widgets that are directly managed by Qt (please
check this impression).  So this only leaves us with the option to
provide native support for spell checking.  How difficult do you think
that it would be to write a small internal plug-in for that?
How much time would that require?  I have no idea; under MacOS,
Max told me that it was straightforward.  But Windows could be
entirely different, of course...

Best wishes, --Joris
