Xpdf

2013-03-31 Thread Andreas Enge 
In the xorg branch, I just added the package xpdf. As a caveat: When 
displaying a pdf file obtained with latex, fonts are shown with a very bad 
quality, and there are error messages such as:

Config Error: No paper information available - using defaults
Config Error: No display font for 'Courier'
Config Error: No display font for 'Courier-Bold'
Config Error: No display font for 'Courier-BoldOblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Courier-Oblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Bold'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-BoldOblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Helvetica-Oblique'
Config Error: No display font for 'Symbol'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-Bold'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-BoldItalic'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-Italic'
Config Error: No display font for 'Times-Roman'
Config Error: No display font for 'ZapfDingbats'

For the time being, I think this is better than nothing; in the long run, 
we will need to sort out font configuration for guix.

Were you trying to say that we should hide these errors?  Or were you
trying to say that we should package the mentioned fonts?  If the
latter, there is no need because the mentioned fonts are non-free.

(I'm not trying to attack you or something.  I just want to clarify
things.)

Hello!

There was a slight issue with http-get vs. http-get* vs. #:streaming?,
which commit ef8c034 fixes.  (I can imagine that the evolution of this
Guile API is hard to follow from the “outside”...)

Oh, btw: could someone try to run dwm ? The machine I use to work on 
Guix recently decided to refuse to run X, so I haven't be able to test 
this package. I'm pretty sure it works, though, since this is a really 
small and simple window manager.
