I've noticed the same problems with PNG files in Netscape (using 4.72
currently) and Plugger. I've not found a way around it, yet. The
files will load sometimes, and other times not. Mozilla handles all
the different flavors of PNG without a problem, but it has plenty of
other problems that make it a non-starter.
Amaya is a less-than-full featured program that can handle PNGs ok as a
web browser, and Opera is supposed to be out RSN, but we'll see when
that is exactly. :-)
Currently, on some web pages, the PNG files will load and display
without a problem, and others they give an "unknown file type" error
(apparently generated by Plugger). If I uninstall Plugger, Netscape
will load some PNGs and ask me what to do with others. Very surreal
problem, which we discussed a while back at LinuxNewbie:
check http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/Forum3/HTML/001191.html for a
little more detail, but (alas) no solution.
