Subject: No NEWS entry for doc-view-mupdf-use-svg (Emacs 30.0.91 feedback)
Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2024 18:53:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87cyky43fb.fsf@ice9.digital> (raw)
When testing the Emacs 30 pre-release I found that all of the PDF files
which I tried to view were not readable because the text appeared to be
missing.
Eventually I found the variable doc-view-mupdf-use-svg, and setting it
to nil reverted the rendering to the old method where the text was
visible.
I suggest that, at the very least, this variable should be added to the
NEWS file so that someone having rendering issues after upgrading can
find it more easily.
I am also not sure that having it default to t (enabling SVG rendering
by default) is a good idea. It probably works well for certain types of
document but it wasn't usable for the ones which I was viewing (which
were all automated invoices sent by e-mail from multiple organisations).
Thanks,
Morgan
