Hi, I'd like to clarify my point, why dropping depencies to recommends is a DRAW/WIN/WIN. There are three groups of people: 1) I like lubuntu / lubuntu-desktop the way it is, please don't tinker around 2) I want another program for my needs than what lubuntu-desktop is proposing 3) I'm low on

I've tested every PDF reader and Evince is the only one that does not distort truetype edges. The respective developments for MuPDF and XPdf are a bit paused and, as PCMan said, usability increases due to the user popularity, so it's easy making changes. Evince isn't as resource hungry as we can
