[OpenIndiana-discuss] /hipster: thunderbird (firefox) doesn't provide spell checking funcionality

[Jonathan Adams]

is myspell itself actually installed on your system, or just the
dictionaries?

It did used to just work for me on Illumos ...

on Ubuntu I take to installing any package with en-gb in it:

root at jadlaptop:~# apt-cache search en-gb | grep en-gb
libreoffice-help-en-gb - office productivity suite -- English_british help
libreoffice-l10n-en-gb - office productivity suite -- English_british
language package
myspell-en-gb - English_british dictionary for myspell
thunderbird-locale-en-gb - Transitional English language pack for
Thunderbird
childsplay-alphabet-sounds-en-gb - British sound files for childsplay

root at jadlaptop:~# aptitude search spell | grep '^i'
i   aspell                          - GNU Aspell spell-checker

i   aspell-en                       - English dictionary for GNU Aspell

i   hunspell-en-ca                  - English_canadian dictionary for
hunspell
i   hunspell-en-us                  - English_american dictionary for
hunspell
i   libaspell15                     - GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime
library
i   libhunspell-1.3-0               - spell checker and morphological
analyzer (
i   myspell-en-au                   - English_australian dictionary for
myspell
i   myspell-en-gb                   - English_british dictionary for
myspell
i   myspell-en-za                   - English_southafrican dictionary for
myspel

I don't have access to a working Firefox on Illumos atm to check.  Give me
a few days and I'll get around to re-installing a virtualbox image.
