Replying to [comment:7 devans@…]:
> Same here so it appears to be OS X version dependent. I can check 10.8+
but not earlier.
We could make the default variant OS-dependent, as OS X <= 10.8 should be
considered legacy anyway.
> I can use require_active_variants to mandate enchant +aspell but that
will break the default build on the buildbots if enchant isn't configured
with aspell by default. As the port description says, enchant was
originally designed to use an aspell-like API. I believe this is generally
the default on most Linux platforms.

+aspell by default.
Enabling both +aspell +applespell by default will effectively use aspell
for everything. The default configuration in `enchant.ordering` prefers
any other backend over AppleSpell for most languages.
This upstream report seems relevant:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1049548
Looking only at inkscape, going back to enchant +aspell would be the easy
solution. The list of dependents of enchant includes gimp2 and
webkit*-gtk*. However, I am in doubt whether they are actually used more
often for spell checking than inkscape. Going back to enchant +aspell as
default would only loose the tighter system integration.
