I seem to have opened a can of worms with my question, but I think it has been more than answered. I can certainly see the reasoning behind using libpng and not libmng in some circumstances (I'd guessed that was the reason libpng support was added anyway). I have a perfectly working libmng here so I will be building NetSurf using that only, as I don't see the point in disabling features (on a desktop platform) and there doesn't seem to be a good reason to increase the footprint by linking in both libpng and libmng. ISTR similar arguments when Mozilla decided to drop MNG support. If nobody can view them they're not going to be used, are they? Chris
