Created an attachment (id=433032) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=433032) [details] groffer -TX100 ls snapshot
Hi, I'm not able to reproduce it. This is from my 11.3 system running latest groff from M17N. The tilde character looks good. Do you have any other things to test? For instance some example with arrows you mentioned few comments before.
I got the tilde all right this time (mysteriously). I changed the monitor to a higher resolution and the default glyph resolution to 100 (in KDE display settings) in the meantime. (I would use -TX100 even before because it would give me bigger text, and you can change resolution interactively in xditview, which gxditview does not support). The arrow appears when I declare width explicitly; perhaps the default width is too small for X11 (although it displays all right in Postscript). The following PIC command produces a hollow circle instead of a filled one: circle rad 0.05 solid; Workaround: circle rad 0.05 filled 1; { groffer ls; } now produces Postscript on standard output (but it must be explicitly told ^D, otherwise it waits for input), which is acceptable, and { groffer -Tps -X ls; } produces readable output too. And the mouse-driven menu in gxditview does not work (it only appears) but the keyboard equivalents work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, the default package set does not supply gxditview, so groffer uses xditview (as in the bug report topic).
OK, so I propose add the following to gxditview.spec Supplements: packageand(groff:xorg-x11-libX11) So the gxditview will be automatically installed on systems having groff and X11 libraries. Does this work for you? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If the incantation works as described, it will solve the problem in question, (It will also open an enhancement request to make gxditview more functional like xditview currently is. Of course, having gxditview installed does not prevent anyone from using xditview if she is willing to trade accuracy for usability.) Given the present situation, it would also be nice to support xditview in the alternatives system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
