Oh ... no antialiasing ? Totally useless, then =:-). No, I'm just kidding ... 
That's really a good thing. It annoys me quite a bit that I have to start X
to view PS and friends. I'll dowload that ASAP ... You say it does PDF as
well ? Great.

How can I convince you, that you need anti aliasing ? What interesting
document could I send to you, written in a tiny font, that's readable only
with antialiasing ? ;-).

Hmm - seems a bit of NATO (no action, talk only) attitude got into our rows
... we should try to change that. I know, that I'm no better than the rest -
I should have investigated some LibGGI matter for quite a while, but I'm
seemingly too busy ... and that the things don't actually bother me in daily
work doesn't help either ...

But well: A Webbrowser for LibGGI would really rock. Netscape just sucks.
I don't need all the bells and whistles ... just tables and inline 
graphics so that I can view my own pages ... no ScriptStuff, no frames,
and especially no EMail-Client, Newsreader and HTML-editor 

I see at least two reasonable starting points: Zen and the mozilla engine
(gecko IIRC ?). So how about someone just doing it, like this brave guy here
*/ME sticks the purple penguin to his chest* did for PS and DVI ?

CU, Andy
