I am using Gedit, on Windows, to write a Latex document.
I noticed that the windows installation of Gedit does not come with preinstalled dictionaries for spellchecking (I don't know why), so I found this post that explains how to download and install dictionaries for Gedit on Windows. Wonderful, specifically I need to download the Italian dictionary, so I went to this Github page and downloaded the folder. I then followed the procedure explained in the previously linked post: I went into the downloaded folder (the LibreOffice dictionaries), I then went into the it_IT folder and then I moved the files
- it_IT.aff
- it_IT.dic
- hyph_it_IT.dic
to the newly created myspell/dicts folder inside my Gedit installation, as the linked post explains.
After all this procedure I can finally see, when I open Gedit, the option to select the Italian Language; I selected it, I activated spellchecking, and it works! Wonderful! But I then discovered a huge problem: for some reason the spellchecking marks as wrong not only the truly mispelled words, but also all the words with an accent in them; those who know Italian know that this language is positively full of accents, so this is quite the problem; and also, for some reasons, the spellchecking marks as wrong the word "di", Italian for the English "of"; very suspicious.. Everything else wroks perfectly tho.
What is going on? How can I get functional Italian spellchecking on Windows's Gedit?
