Comment 3 for bug 170900

Originator: NO

jpritkin Inkscape already has spell check if you can find it.
unfortunately it is a compile time option that is not enabled by default
and uses Aspell. the fact that you and others do not already know about it
is a big problem in my opinion and I have requested it be turned on by
default where possible.

as for language sensitive spelling it would at the very least be very
useful to be able to mark blocks of text as not for spell checking ("no
proofing" or whatever) and even better to be able to mark blocks as being
from particular languages.
