mvrhel2 tkamppeter: you are probably asleep, but I am cluster pushing a fix for RGBW that has it set its profile properly in gdevcups.c. Output looks good with rasterview and requires no special command line06:09.10 
  it should come back fine, then I will commit and see about having chrisl get all of this into 9,0406:09.36 
  chrisl: are you up?06:09.42 
mvrhel2 realizes it is the weekend, not to mention time for sleep06:12.18 
Robin_Watts Morning tor8.09:53.47 
  I left a commit for you on casper.09:53.53

kens Well, I think I'm going to have to store a lto more information about glyph widths and positions for my text extraction stuff. The reason the 'ratpoison' man page came out incorrectly is because (bizarrely) the PostScript does emit the last character of one word, and the first of the new word as one operation, using ashow to insert the 'space'.10:19.36 
tor8 kens: I've tried a different approach to extracting the text, but it's dog slow10:25.42 
kens A different approach to what you currently do ?10:25.56 
tor8 based on a variant of the 'flood fill' algorithm, to group the text into contiguous blocks10:26.18 
kens I was trying to get away without storing the x/y co-ord of each glyph, but I now realise that's not possible.10:26.29 
  Ah, I'm not trying to extract blocks yet.10:26.42 
tor8 I store the bounding box and baseline coordinates for each glyph10:26.49 
kens Hmm, more than I was intending....10:27.07 
tor8 the baseline to assemble them back into lines after I've grouped them into blocks10:27.10 
kens Yes.10:27.16 
  Surely you also need text direction ?10:27.22 
tor8 yes, I will need that eventually too10:27.38 
kens Which depends on CTM and WMode :-(10:27.45 
tor8 yeah. i've only done horizontal text for now. you only need to store a 2d vector for the advance direction, not a full CTM and wmode10:29.03 
kens Certainly, I merely meant that it was influenced by both10:29.26 
  Right, I'm off for the weekend, bye all.11:16.17
