#evince (#gnome's #pdfreader) is really nice, but I am using it with a file that is has around 100 pages and gets recompiled (it's based on #LaTeX) every now and then. Then evince freezes. So now I have to use #xreader which is sad...

Maybe someday #linux will have a real #acrobatreader alternative...

@d2ns That's weird. I used #atril (Maté's fork of evince) for my thesis which was 250+ pages and full of graphics, and it didn't crash at all. My tex build script would copy the resulting pdf at the end, so I could still view it while it was compiling.

@d2ns It hangs during/after recompile? Maybe you can provide a minimal example of problem that could be easily reproducible and create issue with evince app?

@d2ns

Yeah, another casualty of the horrible font wars.

Linux lost, and Adobe won... linux will never have full access to docs which use proprietary Adobe fonts
