| sambocyn | hello, i'm experiencing a bug when using preview-latex | 04:50.23 |
| | it is: "Error: /typecheck in --setfileposition--" | 04:50.37 |
| | i am running mac os x 10.7, emacs 23 with auctex, and gs9.02, if that helps | 04:52.45 |
| | so when i generate a preview in emacs, the math equations do not render | 04:53.32 |
| | i much prefer the emacs mode to lyx, as a WYSIWYG latex editor, and really want to get it working | 04:54.41 |
| | thanks! | 04:54.49 |
| marcoagpinto | Hello! | 10:18.15 |
| | I have a question | 10:18.19 |
| | is anyone there who can answer it? | 10:18.29 |
| tor8 | how can we know unless you actually ask it? | 10:18.46 |
| marcoagpinto | ahhh | 10:18.51 |
| | sorry | 10:18.52 |
| | I have my .DOC in Times New Roman but when I print to cutewriter using ghostscript the font changes to "Times Roman" instead of "Times New Roman" | 10:19.27 |
| | is there a way of fixing it? | 10:19.33 |
| LaoLang_cool | hello, is it a bug for mupdf on *nix? hit j at the end of a page will make mupdf go to the next page. Such behavior doesn't exist in windows version | 10:20.58 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: seems like ghostbot needs to be updated to trigger on another string... | 10:21.22 |
| tor8 | marcoagpinto: kens is the person most qualified to answer, but he's not here at the moment. stick around, we usually answer most questions here, but not always immediately. | 10:21.51 |
| marcoagpinto | tor8: it is Sunday, will he be here today? | 10:22.15 |
| tor8 | well, sometimes he's here on weekends but he'll definitely be here on weekdays | 10:22.49 |
| marcoagpinto | ohhhh | 10:23.00 |
| | thanks | 10:23.04 |
| | :) | 10:23.05 |
| tor8 | so come back tomorrow and you'll definitely get a better answer than I can provide | 10:23.19 |
| | I'm not very familiar with the pdfwrite device | 10:23.26 |
| sebras | marcoagpinto: on my locally compiled mupdf j does not change pages. nothing happens. are you compiling mupdf from some git repository over at github.com? | 10:23.29 |
| tor8 | I do know that PDF tends to assume that Times Roman and Times New Roman are equivalent | 10:23.43 |
| sebras | marcoagpinto: I know they have added such unix keybindings... | 10:23.51 |
| tor8 | and substitutes between the two everywhere | 10:23.56 |
| marcoagpinto | ahhhh | 10:24.04 |
| | tor8 | 10:24.08 |
| | :) | 10:24.09 |
| LaoLang_cool | sebras, did you talk to me?.. | 10:24.11 |
| tor8 | sebras: you're answering the wrong person :) | 10:24.17 |
| sebras | aww.. crap. :) | 10:24.30 |
| LaoLang_cool | sebras, mupdf on FreeBSD have this weird behavior, version is 0.9 | 10:24.49 |
| sebras | glad the correct recipient was alert though. :) | 10:24.53 |
| | LaoLang_cool: where did you get the source from? mupdf.com? | 10:25.34 |
| tor8 | LaoLang_cool: the windows and unix apps should have identical key bindings. freebsd may have patched their version though. | 10:25.42 |
| sebras | tor8: or some github fork... | 10:25.59 |
| LaoLang_cool | sebras, get it from http://www.mupdf.com/download/ | 10:26.46 |
| | http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/mupdf/Makefile?rev=1.18;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup | 10:26.57 |
| | This is the makefile for mupdf | 10:27.06 |
| | omg! http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/mupdf/Makefile?rev=1.18;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup | 10:27.35 |
| | omg OPTIONS=SCROLL"Build with scroll hacks" on \ | 10:27.41 |
| | I find the issue | 10:27.45 |
| | thanks guys, sorry for noice.. | 10:27.53 |
| sebras | great. :) | 10:27.54 |
| | no problem. now -- breakfast! :) | 10:28.08 |
| LaoLang_cool | bad hack which is the default... | 10:28.10 |
| tor8 | LaoLang_cool: not a problem, we might actually want to grab their patch if its useful | 10:28.31 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, yes, if it's an option | 10:28.49 |
| sebras | tor8: currently hjkl scrolls around on the page and there are no other keybindings with overlapping functionality... | 10:29.50 |
| LaoLang_cool | I don't know why mupdf hasn't bookmark support, is it a viewer's job or render's job? | 10:30.05 |
| sebras | tor8: for the xcb-port however... | 10:30.06 |
| | LaoLang_cool: viewer. | 10:30.18 |
| | LaoLang_cool: and the reason is that mupdf currently links to xlib directly instead of a toolkit. | 10:30.40 |
| tor8 | LaoLang_cool: viewer, we don't use a GUI toolkit so implementing bookmarks would be a sizeable amount of work | 10:30.47 |
| LaoLang_cool | q feature request: please add keybinding for scroll up to <shift-space> | 10:30.50 |
| sebras | LaoLang_cool: mupdf would need that to draw the bookmark menu... | 10:30.53 |
| LaoLang_cool | sebras, I like xlib, small and enough, don't like bloat gtk or qt or others | 10:31.26 |
| sebras | tor8: maybe we should make the keybindings configurable in ~/.mupdfrc for the xcb-port? seems like there's a lot of people that want to modify them. | 10:31.36 |
| tor8 | sebras: yeah, I think that's the way to go | 10:31.48 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, why not add a cli tool to show the bmk to std out? | 10:31.50 |
| | section ----- page <num> | 10:32.24 |
| | so I can get the section info and use <num>G to go to the page | 10:32.44 |
| sebras | LaoLang_cool: there is a plan to revamp the viewer bundled with the mupdf library (this is the xcb-port I'm going on about). it's being developed albeit slowly. | 10:32.47 |
| LaoLang_cool | sebras, good news, but I still want to see a cli pdf_getbmk :) | 10:33.21 |
| | No gui at all, cool! | 10:33.45 |
| tor8 | LaoLang_cool, sebras: it wouldn't be all that much work to add an "outline" option to pdfshow | 10:34.15 |
| LaoLang_cool | what do you guys think? | 10:34.22 |
| | tor8, cool! | 10:34.26 |
| tor8 | or pdfdraw even | 10:34.35 |
| LaoLang_cool | I like cli hehe | 10:34.35 |
| tor8 | we all do :) | 10:34.43 |
| sebras | tor8: hm. maybe I should try to link mupdf to aalib... | 10:35.02 |
| LaoLang_cool | so please keep it lest dependents ;p | 10:35.17 |
| sebras | tor8: hm. maybe I should try to link mupdf to aalib... | 10:35.26 |
| | agh! | 10:35.33 |
| | LaoLang_cool: tor8 intends not to revert to any standard toolkit even for the xcb-port, so I believe that you needn't worry. | 10:36.14 |
| LaoLang_cool | sebras, wow, tor8 is a cool guy, I like him much! | 10:36.40 |
| | I find an issue, some fig in pdf drawn too light, but in other pdf the drawing is normal | 10:37.22 |
| | the drawing will be normal if I scale down the pdf | 10:37.54 |
| tor8 | if you compare with acrobat reader, make sure to turn off the "enhance thin lines" option | 10:38.02 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, but in other pdf viewer, say pdfvx_viwer, the drawing is like adobe too | 10:38.56 |
| | maybe they are using the same tech for pdf displaying? | 10:39.09 |
| | then why mupdf hasn't such feature? | 10:39.18 |
| tor8 | in that case, open a bug and attach the file at bugs.ghostscript.com and I'll look into it | 10:39.27 |
| | afaik only acrobat has that option | 10:39.47 |
| | which is essentially turning off anti-aliasing for thin lines | 10:40.00 |
| LaoLang_cool | will do it | 10:44.21 |
| | oh, website is slow here... | 10:50.06 |
| marcoagpinto | ahhh... I fixed my issue: I selected in CutePDFwriter: "TrueType Font: Download as softfont" and "TrueType Font Download Option: Native TrueType" | 10:50.33 |
| | but, I have a question | 10:51.24 |
| | is the font inserted on the PDF or will the PDF download from Internet when the file is opened? | 10:51.51 |
| sebras | marcoagpinto: the fonts are inserted into the PDF when it is generated. | 10:52.49 |
| marcoagpinto | ahhhh | 10:52.57 |
| | thanks | 10:52.58 |
| | I was not 100% sure so I asked | 10:53.05 |
| | :) | 10:53.07 |
| | I can now create PDFs with Times New Roman | 10:53.31 |
| | :) | 10:53.32 |
| | I am glad I noticed this before finalizing my university thesis | 10:54.00 |
| sebras | marcoagpinto: oh, congrats! :) | 10:55.02 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, sorry for my english, anyway, I've describe the issue at my best...hope you can understand... bug 692564 is submitted. | 10:55.12 |
| tor8 | LaoLang_cool: ah! hairline widths again... | 10:56.14 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, what do you mean? | 10:56.31 |
| tor8 | according to the PDF spec, lines with width 0 should be rendered as 1 pixel wide | 10:56.37 |
| | our detection allows a bit of fuzz. the sample file triggers that detection when you zoom out a bit. | 10:57.10 |
| | perhaps we ought to tweak that value a bit more, currently we trigger when the line width in device pixels becomes 1/10th of a pixel | 10:57.57 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, too professional, I just hope my pdf can be rendered more readable in the next release ;p | 10:59.00 |
| tor8 | the file uses a linewidth of 1.2, scaled by 0.1 so those lines are supposed to be REALLY thin | 10:59.18 |
| | if it's your document, I'd recommend that you use fatter lines | 10:59.47 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, you mean the pdf is in a bad format? | 10:59.58 |
| | typeset in a bad format? | 11:00.10 |
| tor8 | the figure uses really really narrow lines, that if printed will be barely visible | 11:00.26 |
| LaoLang_cool | I got it, the doc is mine, I transformed the wmf source file to eps to include in my .tex file, I don't know how to make the line thicker... | 11:01.41 |
| tor8 | those lines are 0.042mm wide | 11:01.54 |
| | where did you get the WMF file? | 11:02.30 |
| | you could edit the eps file and change the "setlinewidth" command if all else fails | 11:03.05 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, the fig actually exported from a chemical workstation, I can't find there's an option to set the line's width, I export the fig into an .ppt file, then ues ppt's exporting fig into .wmf, then trans the .wmf into .eps :) | 11:03.50 |
| tor8 | right, so editing the eps in a text editor or inkscape to change the linewidth would be the easiest option | 11:04.34 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, I've found the setlinewidth in .ps file, but setlinewidth doesn't be followed by other value, how to specify it? | 11:04.57 |
| tor8 | it's the value preceding it | 11:05.08 |
| | 1.2 setlinewidth (or something similar) | 11:05.17 |
| LaoLang_cool | /Lw/setlinewidth | 11:05.23 |
| | No number value... | 11:05.30 |
| tor8 | ah, that's probably redefining the command | 11:05.33 |
| | so search for "Lw" | 11:05.41 |
| | I'm sure it's "/Lw/setlinewidth bind def" or something similar | 11:06.00 |
| | which makes Lw an alias for setlinewidth | 11:06.15 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, /bn/bind ld/lw/Lw ld | 11:06.24 |
| | Too complicated to me... | 11:06.29 |
| | d}if/b{bind d}bind d/bd{bind d}bind d/xd{~ d}bd/ld{, d}bd/bn/bind ld/lw/Lw ld | 11:06.36 |
| tor8 | can you send me the file? | 11:06.37 |
| LaoLang_cool | yes, how to? | 11:06.42 |
| tor8 | attach to the bug report | 11:07.05 |
| LaoLang_cool | ok, bug website is too slow here... please wait | 11:08.12 |
| | tor8, seems the file has been uploaded ? | 11:10.05 |
| tor8 | can't see anything yet | 11:10.41 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, http://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?bugid=692565&action=viewall | 11:11.40 |
| | the test file application/postscript 2011-10-02 11:08 UTC37.01 KBno flags Details | 11:11.47 |
| tor8 | ah, you made a new bug | 11:12.11 |
| | anyway, I have the file | 11:12.19 |
| LaoLang_cool | oh! I didn't mean to do it... | 11:12.29 |
| | please delete the wrong bug... | 11:13.51 |
| tor8 | will do | 11:13.57 |
| LaoLang_cool | thanks | 11:14.02 |
| tor8 | hm, yeah, that eps is a bit of a mess. | 11:18.56 |
| LaoLang_cool | the file is transformed by metafile_to_eps_converter 1.5... | 11:19.40 |
| tor8 | add the line "5 setlinewidth" before %%EndPageSetup and it looks more reasonable | 11:20.33 |
| LaoLang_cool | tor8, thanks, yes, it looks good now | 11:22.07 |
| | tor8, thanks for many help, too late to time for dinner here, I must go! thanks again, mupdf is cool | 11:23.42 |
| tor8 | take care | 11:23.56 |
| sebras | tor8: are you testing for xps vs pdf with if (app->xref), and is the default 72dpi for PDF and 96dpi for XPS? | 11:43.34 |
| | just so I understand the code. | 11:43.45 |
| tor8 | yeah, there's an adjustment for XPS which uses 96dpi measurements and PDF which uses 72dpi measures | 11:49.19 |
| LaoLang_cool | mupdf, it's about pdf, so why other fomat? | 12:31.04 |
| sambocyn | Hello. I have found a gs bug, "/typecheck in --setfileposition--" when invoking preview-latex from emacs. (gs v9.02, emacs23 with auctex, mac 10.7). Can anyone help? | 14:40.17 |
| alexcher | sambocyn: please file a bug report at http://bugs.ghostscript.com | 16:11.47 |
| sambocyn | sure | 16:12.10 |
| | alexcher, done and thanks | 16:24.42 |
| alexcher | sambocyn: I think, the problem is in the file preview.ps, which has left some junk on the stack. | 19:21.41 |
| | sambocyn: The logic of the program suggest that this file should not change the stack. | 19:22.29 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2011/10/03)>>> | |
