Description of Problem: Even when mozilla pretends to use 'plugger' plugin then whatever is given in /etc/pluggerrc seems to be just silently ignored. To wit: I have the following script which I would like to use to display dvi files: #!/bin/sh # view dvi files via Postscript # Michal Jaegermann, michal # 2002-Apr-2 # 2002-Oct-21 - assorted updates me=$(basename $0) usage () { echo "usage: $me [options_for_viewer] [ -- ] dvi_file_to_view [ file ... ]" exit 1 } while [ $# -gt 1 ] ; do if [ "$1" = '--' ] ; then shift break fi vopts="$vopts $1" shift done [ "$1" = '--' ] && shift [ $# -ne 0 ] || usage if DP=$(\which --skip-alias gv 2>/dev/null) ; then DP="$DP -safer -quiet" ps=yes elif DP=$(\which --skip-alias ggv 2>/dev/null) ; then DP="$DP --notoolbar" ps=y elif DP=(\which --skip-alias xdvi 2>/dev/null) ; then DP="$DP -safer -hush" else exit 1 fi if ! tmpdir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/${me}XXXXXX) ; then echo "$me: cannot create temporary directory" fi trap "rm -rf $tmpdir; exit 1" 1 2 3 9 15 while [ "$1" ] ; do if [ "ps" = "" ] ; then $DP $vopts "$oname" continue fi oname=$tmpdir/"$(basename $1)" oname="${oname%.dvi}.ps" if dvips -Pcmz -o "$oname" "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then $DP $vopts "$oname" || : fi rm -f "$oname" # a hack for deranged web browsers spilling junk in /tmp case $1 in /tmp/*.exe) rm -f $1 ;; esac shift done rm -rf $tmpdir exit 0 To see what all of this about try that on few .dvi files for which bitmap fonts were _not_ yet created and you see why this is attractive. After putting in /etc/pluggerc this: application/x-dvi: dvi: DVI file repeat swallow(gv) fill: dvidocviews -geometry +9000+9000 "$file" this does what it seems to imply in Netscape and is just ignored by Mozilla. It is also ignored by Galeon but there I can at least set a helper application to my script but mozilla insists on using xdvi with bitmap fonts no matter what.
