How about it? I'm all for it as well. Anyway, if gpdf is becoming the official part of 2.4, I'll be happily dumping pdf support from GGV. I don't think that would be a very daunting task since most of the code is already there - all we need to do (that is - all I need to do in GGV, I really don't know about gpdf) is agree on the menu structure and a set of standard properties and patch a few bits of the code to respect the new standard. My priorities for GGV - if I finally find some time - are to rewrite both the rendering backend to use the libgs library (I already have some code that does that in a separate branch in CVS) and the DSC parser, which both should make GGV an Even Better PostScript Renderer, bringing all you people many days of PostScript previewing joy ;) regards, jaKa -- email: jaka gnu org w3: http://pluton.ijs.si/~jaka
