FYI, Red Hat/Fedora (and probably others) consider OO.o the
upstream for
hunspell dictionnaries, and are patching all their desktop
apps (not only
OO.o but firefox...)to use those dictionnaries for spell
checking
http://rpmfind.net/linu
x/RPM/fedora/devel/x86_64/hunspell-fr-0.20060915-1.fc7.noarc
h.html

(Fedora is sick of shipping a gazillon of different
redundant dictionnaries)

If OO.o can't maintain those properly (handling patches...),
there is a
problem

BTW WRT http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72724 :
œ is
really different from o+e in french, you have words with œ
and others with
o+e and you can't do a blanket replace

Is there any reason why you replied to this list where
dictionaries are
off-topic? Or did I overlook something? IF you didn't want
to continue
the discussion on discuss I think that devlingucomponent would fit better.

BTW: I gave you an answer on the discuss list where the
thread started.

Ciao,
Mathias

Please don't reply to "nospamformbagmx.de".
I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails
sent to it.
