At this point (the PDF works in other viewers, and recreating the problem needs 3.7GB of TeX to be installed as a prerequisite) I guess that most people who read this list cannot help.

If you want to try, a viewer using poppler (via libpoppler-glib) is epdfview. It can't handle every PDF I come across, but it is comparatively simple to build. Last time I looked, gentoo had retired it. But we still have build instructions for it in BLFS. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/epdfview.html ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
