@eightyeight Okular seems to have fewer dependencies than Evince (and is more featureful), but this all depends on your distro's packager.
-
@eightyeight Both are excellent, Okular does a slightly better job in my experience, with eg. transparent text
-
@eightyeight ... which is something I get printed across my bank's PDF account statements.
-
@ralesk okular requires a truck-load of dependencies. trying to keep my system as light as possible
-
@eightyeight xpdf was one
-
@eightyeight is xpdf acceptable? It's generally what I use.
-
@eightyeight Yeah, that seems a bit of a mouthful. Of course you're more a Gtk user so parts of that are probably already installed.
-
@eightyeight Also, it seems like Debian and kin split KDE stuff into ridiculously tiny pieces, which makes things seem ever so scarier :)
-
@kevingranade yeah. looking at it now
-
@ralesk That said, I just checked on my server that doesn't have Gtk or Qt installed and yeah, Okular pulls in a lot of stuff here too.
-
@ralesk But also (I think due to the Gtk theming support in Qt), it pulls in Gtk and a lot of stuff that Gtk depends on...
-
@eightyeight Ah, I know you switched to a really lightweight desktop, but I thought you still use Gtk-based applications for some stuff.
-
@ralesk surprisingly, apps i thought required it, don't. like #iceweasl, #virt-manager, even #lastfm barely requires anything
-
@kevingranade @eightyeight gv/ghostscript work if those already are installed.
