    If I put it in a VM, I might as well switch back to OpenStep 4.2 and run Altsys Virtuoso 2.0 --- that way I get Display PostScript, &c.

    Reading this - > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_PostScript [wikipedia.org] , it suggests the problems are that Adobe doesn't want to let it out of the box. So much so even Apple has ditched it!!!

    I am willing to bet that DisplayPDF (or something like this), might be possible in Wayland...

    Don't ask me how, but Qt and Gnome can both generate HTML5 from objects, so it is a short step to Postscript/SVG or PDF.

    Just a thought...

      DisplayPDF (whether Apple's Quartz or Adobe's Graphics Manager (Bravo)) has the huge limitation of allowing for the display of (unsecured) files which are not printable as viewed.

        aren't the "non-printable" features only in adobe/apple/microsft?

        I use okular and gnu tools, and nothing seems to be restricted...

          My comment on non-printable is directed at the ads which I get at work which display fine on screen, but which choke the RIP or fail, or don't image so as to match the appearance on-screen.

          That never happened w/ Display PostScript --- if something could be displayed on screen, it RIPped fine --- if it had a problem, the problem showed up on-screen when the _PostScript_ code failed.

    Sounds like a plan.
