[snip] [also sorry if I used HTML formatting earlier, sometimes it is turned on for me and I forget] It could have been this crazy pdf I was printing, which was one of the first times I was really using evince a lot since other things were also complaining. I had pdftk'ed different files, and I think some of them were like US Letter and others were A4 and others weren't specified. Well, I kind of erased that experience from my memory, but I know almost everything on different OSes didn't like what I'd done, whatever it was. So this could be a very bad test case. There was something else in my mind from testing it that made me kind of shiver in a bad way, but I forget. It should be a good program from what I know, however. > > The interface for xpdf is pretty lame (especially default printing), but > > it's quick as demons chasing bats out of hell. > > But it works. It is my pdf viewer of choice at home.

Yeah, I kinda forget, but I assume it wasn't removed from my world for no reason at all. > Unfortunately there aren't that many pdf viewing softwares to choose from. We seem to be doing well so far! ~daid
