As Bob has mentioned this behavior is a known bug, and we're currently
trying to locate an ispell expert to help us fix it.

Actually, this may look wrong and still be correct. We store all entries in
the custom.dic file using the UTF-8 character encoding. If you look at that
file using most text editors, it'll look wrong.
To see what's actually been stored there, make a copy of custom.dic, rename
that copy with a .utf8 suffix, and then open it up in AbiWord. If the
contents match what you typed in the original document, then the custom
dictionary should work just fine.
If it doesn't match, then we have another bug. :-(

PS: Most of the developers on this project are native English speakers,
trying to do their best to make this product multilingual. As you've
noticed, we could still use a little help from a few talented developers who
are used to working with non-ASCII character sets. If you know anyone like
this, please send them to abiword-dev@abisource.com. Thanks!
