PDF Viewer?

bluebrother:
Plucker is some sort of compressed HTML. So there are still issues because we don't have multifont support and only limited image display functionality:
- Websites usually use jpg or gif for images. Currently there is no gif viewer around, and to support both formats in a plucker / html viewer it would also be needed to use that functionality outside of the appropriate viewer. png is also a format that might be considered.
- we have no possibility to display text bold, italic, underlined, scaled up etc. This will make html pages a simple long text. So to make such a viewer useful at least some basic font adjustements would be necessary, i.e. support boldening / underlining the text. Not all possible font manipulations would be needed though. But it would be quite some work ...

Hey, lynx has been working like that for a long time now... :)

You're right -- but wouldn't it be somewhat strange on a graphical display, especially if that can do colors (like some players do)?

LambdaCalculus:
To many users, yes it would seem strange. But at the same time, it would offer this service to users of greyscale targets as well... :)
