Ok I check it this paths location :

In my box look something like:
@genesis ~ $ ls -l /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/
összesen 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 633 febr  1 11.23 dictionary.lst
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  31 febr  1 11.23 hu_HU_u8.aff -> 
/usr/share/myspell/hu_HU_u8.aff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  31 febr  1 11.23 hu_HU_u8.dic -> 
/usr/share/myspell/hu_HU_u8.dic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  30 febr  1 11.23 hyph_hu.dic -> 
/usr/share/myspell/hyph_hu.dic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  31 febr  1 11.23 th_hu_HU.dat -> 
/usr/share/myspell/th_hu_HU.dat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  31 febr  1 11.23 th_hu_HU.idx -> 
/usr/share/myspell/th_hu_HU.idx

and t has a 32 bit cpu, it is interesting, when I emerged OO3 I used the 
hu option flag and t looks like generated links property, and it seems 
like  the programs can use spell checking.

Yes it solve that mystery  :)
