Sorry for not noticing this earlier, but I'm looking in the baseline image directory, and I see a bunch of *_pdf.png files. I guess these have been convered to png from pdf on the tester's machine. Do you think it makes more sense to have the .pdf files in the test repo and convert to png at test run time? This way we don't become dependent on gs rendering quirks or differences across pdf renderers. Maybe the files are also smaller. -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
