Open nicowilliams-work opened 5 years ago

nicowilliams-work commented 5 years ago

Issue description

The lyx recipe uses hunspell, but hunspell is not very good

Steps to reproduce

  1. nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.lyx nixpkgs.hunspell nixpkgs.hunspellDicts.en-us
  2. configure LyX to use Hunspell
  3. be annoyed by Hunspell's limitations

The recipe in question is pkgs/applications/misc/lyx/default.nix.

LyX supports Hunspell, GNU Aspell, and Enchant.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
