It is possible to configure the Addict spellchecker to some degree by editing the registry.
E.g. with these settings, a 2nd main dictionary ("german_alt.adm") is added.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Angelic Software\AngelWriter\Addict]
"_Main_count"="2"
"_Main_0"="English.adm"
"_Main_1"="german_alt.adm"

In theory, this could be also possible with a file called "Spell.cfg" containing the same strings as the registry. Then again, I couldn't get it to work this way.
As a 2nd note, the exe is packed with UPX and can be unpacked with e.g. FUU (Free Universal Unpacker). In the unpacked exe, you can rename "Times New Roman" to e.g. "Calibri" to change the default font.

It is feasible to "convert" Angel Writer at launch.
The spellcheck dictionaries (Addict type) may be copyed - from other dir - over 'English.adm' and the interface Language might lay near 'English.lng' as referenced in 'AngelWriter.ini'.
A 'Launch.bat' (or maybe a small App "AngelWriterPortable.exe') just have to:
1) Ask the user for the base language;
2) Copy a new 'AngelWriter.ini' (over the old? at home dir) referencing the interface language (already in place) at 'Languages' dir, say 'French.lng';
3) Copy the dictionary (e.g.: French.adm') as 'English.adm' (with that name) into 'Addict' dir, previously empty;
4) Launch 'AngelWriter.exe' as a sub-process;
5) At exit erase what it has copyed.

@NunoSilva: yaP could do it with relative ease IMHO -- please post your findings in the official forum topic to see if any help comes from the community...
