I played around with the spellchecker on the playground 
<http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:playground> (go right to the bottom) using 
both Firefox and Safari on Mac OS X.4 (Tiger).  Firefox is fine, Safari screws 
up...  E.g. pasting the following text from a Liberation.fr (French  newspaper):

Didier Julia au centre des interrogations
Pour Serge July, directeur de «Libération», le sulfureux député en congé de 
l'UMP a «gêné, comme d'habitude» dans les discussions qui ont permis la 
libération de Florence et Hussein.

...results in the following after clicking 'check spelling' in Safari:

Didier Julia au centre des interrogations
Pour Serge July, directeur de function (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); }Libfunction (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); }rationfunction (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); }, le sulfureux dfunction (whole, match1)  {   
return String.fromCharCode(+match1); }putfunction (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); } en congfunction (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); } de l'UMP a function (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); }gfunction (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); }nfunction (whole, match1)  {   return 
String.fromCharCode(+match1); }, comme d'habitudefunction (whole, match1)  {   
return String.fromCharCode(+match1); } dans les discussions qui ont permis la 
libfunction (whole, match1)  {   return String.fromCharCode(+match1); }ration 
de Florence et Hussein.

However, as Dave Winter wrote yesterday (with a useful screenshot), Tiger has 
an integrated spellchecker that 'aware' applications (such as Safari) can use 
(you can even choose between several languages).

Hope that's of use.

No testing it at wiki.splitbrain.org is okay.

Just try to spellcheck a text which contains other characters than ASCII, 
eg. use accented chars.

Just do what isn't too much hassle for you ;-)
