Hi everyone,
   I've uploaded two files to the files area (in the "Lingua Franca Nova
" folder).  The files are:

    * lfn.aff

These are Hunspell spelling dictionary files
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell> ) and can be used by other
software to spell check your documents.
I use Ubuntu (a linux distribution), and I guess a lot of you use
Windows, so I tried to find a cross-platform text editor that can use
these files.  I found one I believe, called TEA at
http://tea-editor.sourceforge.net/ <http://tea-editor.sourceforge.net/>
. I notice there's a Windows version (if you use it please post if it
works OK with my files).  To setup TEA to use the files, first download
the two dictionary files somewhere and then in TEA click on the "tune"
tab on the right side of the TEA window (you start out on the "edit"
tab).  Then select the "functions" tab at the top and you'll see the
edit box to select "Hunspell dictionaries directory".  You can then
press the "select" button at the right to navigate to the folder with
the two files in it.Once you've done that, go back to the "edit" tab,
create a new file (hit the page icon at the top) and then paste in some
LFN.  To spell check it, you have to go to the "Functions" menu at the
top, and then select "Spell-checker languages" in the menu, and you
should see "lfn" as an option.  Click it, and any misspelled words in
the document will be underlined in red.  Unfortunately the editor
doesn't automatically spell check as you type (hopefully this will be
done in a future version) so when you want to update the spell checking
go back to the Functions menu, and select "Spell check".  There's also a
"Suggest" option if you want spelling suggestions for the word where the
cursor is.
Caveat: I'm using TEA version 28.1.1 but the latest version is 30.0.0 so
let us know if you notice any differences from my instructions above.
Caveat 2: The dictionary files were generated from the online LFN
dictionary, together with the affix file which has some rules about how
to add suffixes (e.g. making nouns plurals, altering the verbs to have
-da and -nte).  This is a first attempt so if you notice words missing,
please let me know and I'll improve the files and reupload them.
Also if you can find any other text editors that work with Hunspell
files (and also Enchant spell checkers, as it is just a front-end to
Hunspell and other spelling systems) please let us know!  If you
happened to look at the Wikipedia Hunspell page then you'll see there's
wide support for the files, however my investigations revealed that it's
difficult to incorporate these files (e.g. LibreOffice has an internal
list of allowed languages and LFN isn't one of them, so the LibreOffice
source code would have to be altered).  That's why I chose TEA as it's
more flexible when it comes to spelling files.
I hope this helps you when writing posts to this group, as it's easy to
spell the words wrong (especially for those whose mother language is a
Romance language or those who've studied a Romance language).
Cheers,cadmium
