OTOH people seem to have happily migrated from xpdf to > evince over time (or at least that's my perception). What do you mean? # yum -y install xpdf (clip) ---> Package xpdf.x86_64 1:3.02-15.fc12 set to be updated xpdf is still there, so actually nothing brutal has yet happened in the case of xpdf. When xpdf *is* removed I'd expect cries of rage. ** For PDFs I personally have used evince ever since it was introduced in Fedora. In the case of PDFs the wait for a page to load is just a second or so. For PS (or EPS!) files, on the other hand, evince can be *really* slow in my experience. Often I just convert the files to PDF first with ps2pdf or epstopdf - if a file doesn't seem to open launching another terminal, converting the file to PDF and launching another evince process to view it is quicker to display than the original process that had been running all the time in the background. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
