mozilla metaport ??? [was:] view postscript files from mozilla?
I just wondered, if it would make sense to create some kind of mozilla metaport (could be called FBSD-mozilla or gnome-mozilla), that sets up all known plugins, wrappers, fonts - perhaps also languages and some themes - automagically. Thus the naive user - like me - could install a fully qualified and state-of-the-art browser without having to experiment with different kinds of mozilla with and without linux, jdk's and so on.

I'd sure buy into this! After spending hours fumbling around with linux-jdk ... . (*mumble*) It's probably the porters wsho understand what fits with what and could best put together this kind of metaport. echo to stdout things like: THIS will not work with THAT because of x, y, z. Or refuse (unless -f [forced) to portupgrade quasi-stable versions of linujx-mozilla-devel to non-stable alpha versions. gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
view postscript files from mozilla?
Hi! Many - especially scientific - sites publish in postscript (.ps) format. I always have to save these files to my local harddisk, before I can open them in ggv. Has anybody worked out, how these files can be rendered directly via mozilla? I tried to put ggv into the view with application ... dialog. This will start ggv, but it can't fetch the file from the remote server. I also tried gs, but that will crash immediatly. acroread should be able to do this, but frequently complains about defect .ps code. Any more ideas?
