| miqlas | hi | 16:46.25 |
| ghostbot | Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. | 16:46.25 |
| miqlas | Guys: now, that i got gs on Haiku, i can convert ps files to pdf, but how do i create a ps file actually? | 16:58.55 |
| chrisl | You can write one by hand, you can use applications that export to them, etc | 17:04.59 |
| | latex can produce ps files, IIRC, so can gnuplot | 17:06.22 |
| | I think various roff variants can produce ps, too | 17:07.47 |
| | Also, since Postscript is a page description language aimed at printers, many printer drivers produce Postscript | 17:11.17 |
| miqlas | chrisl: helpful, as always. | 17:17.21 |
| | but lemme switch to mobile broadband, i got firewalls here | 17:17.36 |
| chrisl | miqlas: I'm heading off shortly | 17:20.19 |
| miqlas | Sorry, it took longer as i expected :) | 17:23.29 |
| | chrisl: yeah, tex could work, but have you ever seen, how big that stuff actually is? The haiku port weight 800mb! | 17:25.17 |
| | it is more than the whole OS, literally | 17:25.31 |
| chrisl | Things like scribus or inkscape would be a huge undertaking | 17:26.25 |
| | Although, somewhat in-keeping with the philosophy | 17:26.52 |
| miqlas | there is already a port for texlive2014 for haiku, and i tried to update it... downloading after 10 minutes was around 10%.... ouch | 17:27.23 |
| | so i went back to small and nice stuffs. | 17:27.39 |
| chrisl | The other option is start with a PDF, and use Ghostscript convert it to PS - but that seems bit pointless | 17:27.54 |
| miqlas | we already got scribus | 17:27.57 |
| | but there is a bug in our qt port, so it crashing :S | 17:28.27 |
| chrisl | Scribus has a "Export to EPS" function | 17:28.38 |
| miqlas | oh, nice, but it already got an export to pdf option too afaik | 17:29.10 |
| | so it is pointless to export ps, to convert to pdf with gs, if we can export pdf directly | 17:29.31 |
| | now i think i should port the phronix test suite to haiku to be able to benchmark haiku. watch out linux, we are coming... | 17:30.40 |
| chrisl | I'm heading off - bye | 17:32.53 |
| miqlas | bye | 17:33.46 |
| muffindrake | Is there a specific reason why the opengl build of mupdf doesn't support an inverted color mode, instead displaying general information about the document? | 22:52.41 |
| | It's not that I would require that specific feature in the opengl build, just that this difference is not reflected in the man page at all. I use the X11 build otherwise. | 22:53.25 |
| | Oh, I'm sorry, perhaps #mupdf is better? http://artifex.com/support/ says "IRC channel: Ghostscript and MuPDF developers can be found on the #ghostscript IRC channel", while http://artifex.com/developers-mupdf-support/ says "IRC channel: MuPDF developers can be found on the #mupdf IRC channel" | 22:56.49 |
| Robin_Watts | muffindrake: Yeah, #mupdf is new. The web page will be updated as part of a bit revamp in a bit. | 23:09.37 |
| | muffindrake: I don't know enough about the gl version to comment. You'd need tor for that. Try back in about 10 hours? | 23:10.13 |
| muffindrake | Robin_Watts: I see, I'll do that then. | 23:10.55 |
| | Thanks :) | 23:11.00 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2017/06/15)>>> | |
