Hi, I am currently experimenting with "the world's first e-ink monitor" :-) (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paperlike-world-s-first-e-ink-monitor-13-3). It operates best in pure black and white mode. Thus, for best quality you need to disable smooth font rendering, which looks good on regular displays but not on the b/w e-ink screen.
The Acrobat Reader has this option under Preferences->Page Display->Rendering->Smooth Text. But as Acrobat locks opened files, I cannot use it for TeX. The PDF-XChange Viewer by Tracker Software also has this option under Preferences->Rendering->Smoothing. While this viewer can open files without locking, it is still somewhat useless because with each automatic reload the scroll position is reset to the top. How complicated would it be to disable smooth text (and posssibly all smooth vector rendering) in Evince? As the e-ink monitor only has a functioning Windows 7 driver so far, I would need a Windows build. I know a little bit of C programming. So with some hints, I might be able to do the changes in the source code myself (?). Thanks, Linus PS: Another great feature to support e-ink screens would be the option to override all font colors with black and all background colors with white. Both Acrobat and PDF-XChange offer this under Preferences->Accessibility. _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
