Re: [BLUG] Kazehakase web browser

On further use, Kazehakase is actually pretty pleasant. Tweaking the
preferences is kinda convoluted, but I managed to find and set what I
needed to make it useful. It handles the pages I go to and scored 75/100
on acid3.

The only way I know of is to export them to PDF or EPS, and then use Inkscape. I have had pretty unpleasant experiences with that in the past though.

Re: [BLUG] Kazehakase web browser

Hmmm... It's in Debian, so I'll give it a try.

I like that you can plug in a webkit backend, but I'm not having much
success getting it to work. The gecko backend feels like FireFox, so
that's familiar at least.

I also like that you can change the UI across three levels of
complexity. Scratch that. I think it's a good idea. I don't know if I
like it, since I usually keep my UI as sparse and simple as I can. I can
see it being really handy for shared computers or multiple people using
the same screen.

I'll give it a try, but I don't think it will displace my default
browser anytime soon. Thanks for the tip, though.

[BLUG] Opening InDesign Files?

Hello All:
Does anyone know of an open source program that will open Adobe InDesign files?  I tried to no avail with Scribus.  Just curious, and thanks.  Hope everyone is having a grand holiday season.

[BLUG] Kazehakase web browser

Anyone here use the Kazehakase web browser? I just came across it
this morning and it seems very nice. It also feels a lot like it picked
up where Galeon left off, which is great for power users. It has a lot
of powerful features, check it out:

http://sourceforge.jp/frs/index.php?group_id=388&release_id=2211

You can probably also install it through your package manager. I could
in Ubuntu at least.
