Comment 11 for bug 738947

a) Recent port of AbiWord to Mac OS X has committed a patch to the MacPorts pango port [1] to optionally build pango with included modules (AFAIU it no more requires setting up 'pangorc' and 'pango.modules' with adapted paths inside the application bundle). Maybe worth while to be considered for bundling pango with Inkscape, too (for both the current X11 based bundle as well as Quartz based ones)?

b) To be investigated: for the port of AbiWord (AFAIU pure Cocoa, no GTK+) support for AppleSpell was added/fixed for enchant [2] - possibly could be useful to improve/fix Inkscape's built-in spellchecker command (bug #396322)?
