You can use any Hunspell dictionary. OpenOffice has a large selection. FYI, an .oxt is just a zip archive with the dictionary files inside of it. You just need the .aff and .dic files. Open Sigil's preferences, go to spelling and click the button on the button to open the user dictionary location. Put the .aff and .dic files there then restart Sigil for them to be available for use.

Finally figured out this issue.
The dictionary I was using is unicode compatible, but to make the spellchecker recognise the curly quotes, em-dashes, etc, you also need the GB English hyphen .dic file. For some reason it wasn't in the file I downloaded so I went to the LibreOffice site and downloaded their latest English language .oxt file and extracted the following files: en_GB.aff, en_GB.dic and hyph_en_GB.dic.
After installing all three of them into Sigil's dictionary folder, they now seem to be working correctly.
