Then a Character dialog box opens - select the Font tab ( I guess this
is what Remy was referring to).

In this box, there is a language field with a drop down list showing a
green tick against ABC for the languages where you have dictionaries
installed.

Do you have dictionaries installed ?

I'm using 5.1.4.2 as the standard package in a Ubuntu distro and all
works fine for different flavors of english and french but I don't
recall if I fetched the dictionaries myself. You can see them in Tools >
Extension manager.
