I noticed that KDE 4 doesn’t offer the option anymore to choose the
spell checker under ‘Personal Settings’.
How come? How does the spell checker work now under KDE 4? Which spell
checking application does the checking(ispell? aspell? kspell2?)?
Cheers,

I saw a reference to ispell somewhere. Konqueror has a Configure
Spellcheck option but there isn’t a choice of spellchecker in it.

Yes, that’s exactly what I was referring to.

I don’t see this setting in my KDE 4.2. How do you get there, from
Personal Settings?
Anyway, it’s not that important.
Hmmmmmmmm … I believe I didn’t formulate the questions precisely
enough. :\ I didn’t mean “How do I get the KDE 4 spell check to work”,
but rather “How does the KDE 4 spell checker FUNCTION? What application
does it use / is it based on? Why is there no longer a choice of spell
checkers like in KDE 3.5?”

I don’t really followed the story. KDE4 was supposed to have Sonnet
(‘Mountain Goat Programmer’ (http://blog.jacobrideout.net/)), but last I
heard is that the developer was MIA.
I suppose it now just uses ‘Enchant’
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchant_(software))… that by default
uses ‘Hunspell’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell)

Thanks for the info, RedDwarf. I’ve checked what packages are installed
on my machine, and Enchant is one of them (while KSpell / Sonnet are
not).
I’ve read that Enchant is able to use different backends
simultaneously, so since I have aspell as well as ispell installed, I
suspect they are all in use. Is there a way to verify this, and/or to
customize the Enchant settings?

That’s interesting as the Konqueror interface refers to Sonnet but I
have the following files on my system:
/usr/bin/enchant
/usr/lib/enchant/libenchant_aspell.so
/usr/lib/enchant/libenchant_ispell.so
/usr/lib/enchant/libenchant_myspell.so
/usr/lib/kde4/kspell_enchant.so
So it looks as if there is potentially a choice but the interface to
select that choice hasn’t been written.
