Your attached file ggv appears to be an error message from Ghostscript about a file book.pdf. Acroread and gv can both read pdf files well, and both are available as ports and packages. Xpdf is another viable option for reading PDF files. And the keys caused the desired function as i pressed even w/o reading the man page or similar on the first time use. Though i would have preferred = to decrease the magnification (on US keyboard) instead of shift+= for +, i am not complaining. While there is text finding capability in xpdf (which gv lacks), gv shows the page borders by use of white grey colors, which xpdf does not (seem to). Xpdf paints everything in white inside its window which was enlarged more than the page size. - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Acroread and gv can both read pdf files well, and both are available as ports and packages. PDFs can be created with OpenOffice. Many programs can create Postscript files; when you print to file, you will usually get a Postscript file as output, and can read it with gv. Hope this helps! The file was the general handbook of FreeBSD. I have found the same problem whilst using KDE tools. I'll try what happens after having updated the Ghostscript engine, this one is at least 1 1/2 years old. I have had no time to check the same with GNUstep tools, because of compilation errors outside the ports. I didn't know what 'print to file' means. I was thinking it was simply an option to send the printer a print-job already coded, without starting the program [OO], which generated the job itself.

I have a problem with ggv whilst trying to read pdf documents, not ps documents [attachment]. Moreover, I would like to know what's the best resource available to produce pdf or ps ones. Is it mandatory to pass through TeX? I'll try to stand alone in the future. Even if I am running a complicated installation of mixed-up releases, everything compiles and works. I have discovered this is a system much more modular than described in the manuals. It is even possible to compile strange kernels with mixed stuff of different releases. The problems come always from badly written third-party programs. The system remains always extremely stable and fast.
