If you've installed OpenOffice 3.1, you can now have the Maltese spell checker installed on it. Here are the step-by-step instructions (assuming OOo 3.1 is already installed).

OOo uses hunspell as its spell-checker, so the first step is to install the tools to create new word lists:

This is the Maltese spell checker project. Actually, the spell checker is aspell. This project provides the Maltese word list for it. Any software that interfaces with aspell can do spell checking in Maltese - all you have to do is select the language from the list. This includes most text-processing Linux applications.

Download: aspell-mt-0.4.tar.bz2 (120k; 824,838 words)

Here are a number of project pages for Maltese / Open Source / Linux - related projects.

Hi there. I've created FREE font for CAD (it should conform to ISO 3098 norm) and I recently added support for Maltese language. The project itself is hosted at Google Code project page at http://code.google.com/p/osifont/. My knowledge of the Maltese language is limited to wikipedia but I hope it is complete. If I missed something, please tell me so I can fix that. I added these characters ĊċĠġĦħŻż. And finally here is some sample image.
