Dictinaries for hunspell

[Veit Kannegieser]

Hope this is correct place for this topic.
I have looked again for integrating Debian system installed dictionaries.
The current installation recommendation is to
replace directory palemoon/dictionaries with a symbolic link to /usr/share/hunspell.
However in Firefox exist a solution: adding a preference spellchecker.dictionary_path with value /usr/share/hunspell.
So far this works nice in Pale Moon, and i would add that preference for coming repacks.
Maybe spellchecker.dictionary_path should have a default value on non-Windows platforms?

No, because we supply a hunspell and a dictionary with the browser and if the user doesn't have hunspell system-installed, it would leave them without any active dictionaries, afaik.

Pretty ironic the title is misspelled.

The sources appear to be merged in my tests.
However, a system installed dictionary (en_US.dic) is taken before the included en-US.dic, which is surely not wanted.

The lists differ a lot,
Pale Moon knows "Abbie" in en-US, hunspell-en-us knows "Aalborg" as indicator which is used.

Yes, the subject is embarrassing, checked the text, but the body only.
