Description Steve Underwood 2008-05-30 17:58:37 UTC

in FC9, Okular's handling of TIFF files is broken. It ignores the resolution
information in the file, and displays all pixels as if they are square. In FAX
files they are not.

KFAX appears to have been dropped from the KDE graphics package, on the basis
that Okular can do the job. However, the resolution issue makes Okular pretty
much useless for FAX display. As far as I can tell, this is the only problem
with Okular and FAXes, but its a killer.

I believe okular's resolution handling needs fixing, and in the meantime KFAX
needs to be restored to the kdegraphics package.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2008-05-30 18:02:25 UTC

Good points all, but better made to those directly responsible, upstream @
bugs.kde.org.

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2008-05-31 00:37:39 UTC

Please report upstream at bugs.kde.org and add upstream info to this report.  We
will monitor upstream for resolution.

Comment 3 Steve Underwood 2008-05-31 04:41:17 UTC

I reported it at bugs.kde.org

Is a short term workaround possible, by restoring KFAX, like the earlier
versions of Fedora had?

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2008-05-31 05:05:02 UTC

Kfax has been dropped from upstream kdegraphics. There's a version in 
extragear, but I don't know how well that works.

Comment 9 Steve Underwood 2008-06-14 05:18:08 UTC

The latest FC9 update seems to have solved my original problem. So far, I
haven't found any issues displaying FAXes from TIFF files with the latest
okular. It looks like kfax is truly redundant now. Thanks for the good work.
