just this last week i saw a BIG difference between the xpdf
rendering and the acroread version of the same pdf file...
xpdf colors were /way/ off (green instead of teal, pink instead
of burgundy), fonts were very bitmappy. acroread was more
spot-on for colors and fonts were antialiased nicely.
xpdf version 1.00

acroread is version 4
(i first sniffed around with locate and strings
and grep, and then remembered that the version
is in the 'splash' starup window)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #63 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
What's the best way to GET RESPONSES ON DEBIAN-USER? There are
several things to keep in mind:
1) Debians are all volunteers because they enjoy what they
do; they don't owe you diddly (and you'll be one of us
when you start getting involved): ASK, and ye shall
recieve; DEMAND, and ye shall be rebuffed
2) Provide evidence showing that you did put effort into
finding a solution to your problem (at least demonstrate
that you've seen the manual)
3) Be known to offer pointers and assistance to others
4) Give enough information so that someone else can figure
out what you're after; and make it legible
5) Enjoy yourself and have fun -- it'll come across, and we
enjoy people who enjoy life; a petulant whiner seldom
gets any useful pointers other than "Out, damn spot!"
