Comment 2 for bug 174000

There are a lot of problems with the spell checker. I have some C code which I will use instead later on. In this case I must know if you are using aspell or ispell. Try:

parray spell::static

Because ispell doesn't support utf-8 and it is a mess to translate encodings back and forth:

 if {$static(speller) eq "ispell"} {
     #fconfigure $pipe -encoding latin1
 } elseif {$static(speller) eq "aspell"} {

     # Both we and aspell use utf-8, thus, no translation!
     fconfigure $pipe -translation binary
 }
