I tried to set up ispell to use hunspell with this post.

but it seems like ispell is still not using hunspell.

Ispell in Emacs would mark this word as wrong: Schulwochen (German)

$ hunspell -d de_DE
Hunspell 1.7.0
Schulwochen
-

So I guess ispell is nor using hunspell.
Since other German word appear correct in emacs ispell, I am pretty sure ispell is using a German dictionary.

config.el

[...]
(setq ispell-program-name (executable-find "/usr/bin/hunspell")
      ispell-dictionary   "de_DE")

init.el

[...]
(setq ispell-program-name "hunspell")
(setq ispell-local-dictionary "de_DE")
(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist
      '(("de_DE" "[[:alpha:]]" "[^[:alpha:]]" "[']" nil nil nil utf-8)))

OS: Fedora
Emacs: Doom

~> ispell -vv
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.8)
~> hunspell -vv
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.7.0)

This might be the problem but I could not find a way to update ispell.

Try adding the following to your init file:

(eval-after-load 'ispell
    (setq ispell-program-name (executable-find "hunspell")
          ispell-dictionary   "de_DE"))

and check with C-h v ispell-program-name after you restart emacs.

This should make sure that you get the final word on setting ispell-program-name.

  • The Value is still aspell. I made sure that "exe-path" was correct and my emacs installation was no flatpak, but still emacs seem unable to find hunspell and enchant-2 – Ben Kinigadner Jan 02 '23 at 09:30
  • Can you uninstall `aspell` temporarily? If that is feasible, you can start emacs and see if it finds `hunspell` instead. – NickD Jan 02 '23 at 10:38
  • This worked. Its now using hunspell. Could you add this to your answer and I check it. – Ben Kinigadner Jan 04 '23 at 12:03
  • Will do - it's a half-measure however so I want to do some testing first and then think about how to phrase it. – NickD Jan 04 '23 at 12:52
