Re: djvu viewers from ports or add capability to view to xpdf, gv or other
I had a gut feeling that viewers like gv or xpdf would have the capability to view djvu files, since evince could do this, but I guess I was wrong. As far as I know, the ability to deal with this file formate requires the corresponding library to be used. Evince seems to be able to, but xpdf and gv are just PS/PDF viewers, so this functionality hasn't been incorporated. Even though ImageMagic is a heavy chunk of compiling, it is acceptably easy to use when installed (display command). Enabling DJVU option and recompiling it shouldn't pull too many dependencies into the system. -- Polytropon, Thank you for sharing this advice. I have recompiled ImageMagick with the djvu capability and had to include [x] for threads and it works well. I have to use the [space bar] to change pages, but I don't know which key to use to return one page back. Otherwise it works and no need to use evince :) Best Regards, Antonio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Or is there a small djvu viewer available in ports that can be installed easily? You can install the port ImageMagick with support for djvu format. To view a file, simply call display file. Not tested. Be aware that ImageMagick is the opposite of small. -- Chris Hill ch...@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging / ] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
