Hi,
Just to keep you informed.
I'm a bit late as per usual. Color support is far less trivial than
expected. Being able to navigate through the document means you need
to turn pre-scaning on, and to memoize all kinds of color stack states
... Anyway, it seems to be done (or almost ... test it and tell me).
Some cleanups to do and windvi54.zip should be available
tomorrow. Given the information memoized, I have also tried to setup a
palette for 256colors displays. Anti-aliasing is turned on only for
b&w text.
One drawback yet : I have not found how to honour \pagecolor{}
together with ps inclusions. I mean : gs is redrawing the page itself,
and I should find a way to tell him that the background is not white.
About printing : I will have things to say, but needs some more
testing.
As soon as this seems stable, I will focus on the installer and
texconfig.
