Hi all, I did not had time to thank you all for your answers on the thread concerning LaTeX and typesetting systems. I finally solved my issue, it was a problem with epstopdf and convert from imagemagick. When I have an eps picture with some dimensions, => on the computer at my work, convert conserve the dimensions of the picture while epstopdf does not. It resizes the picture to A4 format. => At home my computer does exactly the contrary, epstopdf does conserve dimensions while convert does not. It resizes the picture to A4 format. I use convert and epstopdf without arguments except the filenames, so I don't why this behavior ! (Maybe cause I was stone or drunk or both ...)
$ convert mypic.eps mypic.pdf $ epstopdf mypic.eps On both PCs. Maybe there is a difference between versions I don't know and I have not searched deeper. At home I have Archlinux and at work CentOS. But anyway, the eps->pdf trick is not the main subject of my post. I have seen on the suckless project ideas webpage that you wish to have a "Yet another less sucking editor" (= YALSE ? or LSED ? or FALSE ? why not ?). What features should be included in YALSE ? I do NOT want to begin a troll about VI vs EMACS vs WHATEVER. Does YALSE have to support => a plugin system ? extensions ? scripting language (LUA ?) ? (so one can embed a terminal within YALSE) => syntax highlighting ? => tabs ? many buffers ? => only basic features : cut, copy, paste, search, replace, inserting other text files ? => block selection ? => an (optional ?) GUI ? => ASCII only ? or UTF-8? and all? or many? character encodings ? => several modes like vi ? or like EMACS ? or an hybrid ? or like another editor ? vile ? nano ? (maybe the troll-able part) => costumizable shortcuts ? => when pushing the down button, should YALSE go to the next visible line or to the next real line ? Can YALSE depend on => ncurses ? => strictly nothing ? => a limited number of LOC ? => others libs ? A good start could be the basic features : cut, copy, paste, search, replace, inserting other text files plus block selection and only one file at a time ? What is your opinion ? Kind regards.
