Here we bundle Hunspell (the spell checker used by Mozilla and LibreOffice) in the installer. The released installer comes with US-English and French dictionaries already installed. You can manually add dictionaries for other languages in the folder TeXmacs\share\hunspell. You can grab such dictionaries at several places :
The Lyx repository (a bit old)
Github sources for LibreOffice dictionaries
Starting with version 1.99.16 (Nov. 2020) the official version bundles Aspell with many dictionaries for European languages, but at the expense of a ~twice larger package. Other Aspell dictionaries can be obtained here, but they appear generally much older, less updated, than the Hunspell dictionaries.
A comparison of Aspell and Hunspell for English spelling can be found here. My own tests in French showed the same : Aspell and Hunspell perform similarly on the usual small mistakes, but Aspell is consistently better on badly misspelled words.
Although Miguel de Benito Delgado implemented all the necessary code in TeXmacs by the end of 2013, it is actually not yet used in the official Windows version. Here I take advantage of Miguel's work to keep you informed whenever I make a new release (and you have the freedom of updating or not).
I also added a TeXmacs plugin which enables using TeXmacs as a fully graphical "equation editor" from within Inkscape and LibreOffice (with this LO extension). The plugin relies on pdftocairo (bundled in the installer) which enables exporting fragments of TeXmacs documents to many graphical formats, notably svg.
Inside Inkscape or LibreOffice documents, such equation objects are beautifully typeset perfect vector graphics which are re-editable at will in TeXmacs. The whole equation creation and modification process is fast and intuitive (fully What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get, no LaTeX coding required!); it is extremely efficient when one makes, for instance, a scientific poster or a presentation.
See Edit->Preferences->Plugins->Equation Editor and the associated help page. Try it!
Although it is not bundled in the package, I advertise here my Zotexmacs extension which makes it super easy to use the Zotero bibliographic database tool with TeXmacs.
