I was talking about kpdf, but this is an old example. In KDE4 Okular uses shared lib poppler, not a private copy. The same applies to Evince (from GNOME) So only poppler* is needed to be recompiled. Sample screenshots, can apreciate the problem: This is a Okular rendering a pdf document with the poppler* from Arch Linux: http://archlinux.djgera.com.ar/screenshoots/okular-bad.png And this is with poppler* recompiled without bytecode freetype patch: ( or simply commenting the apropiate libs in poppler* :) ) http://archlinux.djgera.com.ar/screenshoots/okular-good.png >> As for the licensing: AFAIK even Debian ships with the bytecode >> interpreter enabled these days >> > > The license is not my first intension and i think the most distributions > activate the bytecode interpreter. > > Still again, i only discuss and don't say "we have to do". -) > Exactly. > See you, Attila > > Chau -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
