textproc/hunspell it is, thanks, I didn't know about that one. I tried
aspell and that didn't work so I posted.

Why is it hunspell? Is that some default on FreeBSD? I see stuff like
LibreOffice and FireFox depend on it. I tried to browse the gtkspell source
on but couldn't find any reference to a preferred dictionary set.
