I still don't see the problem, even with the gif you sent.  Of course,
I've got a 17" monitor.  Although, that text is pretty small. I can
believe it would be unreadable on certain video hardware, but I don't
think that's a bug.  If you don't see the problem with larger type
faces and/or don't have any objections, I'd like to close this.

On my display, the text comes out as completely random characters.

[Also, I just tested it from a text console rather than from an
X console -- text is still unreadable, and zgv doesn't properly clean
up the display after exit.]

On my display, the text comes out as completely random characters.

[Also, I just tested it from a text console rather than from an
X console -- text is still unreadable, and zgv doesn't properly clean
up the display after exit.]

Raul,

You filed this bug over a year ago now, and from looking at the logs it
doesn't appear to have been resolved.

Could you please confirm that it is still a problem with the latest
(major, at least) versions of zgv and svgalib, and if so, could you
please let me know what type of graphics card you are using, and also
send me a copy of the image in question?

Thanks a lot,

Andy

[I sent Andy mail with my comments on some bugs a while back, and I
thought I might as well make the comments public for those bugs that
have yet to be closed. This is one of those comments.]

- #5590 zgv renders unreadable text

This one is fascinating. :-) The original bug report seems to be
suggesting that zgv is rendering text *in a certain GIF* unreadably.
This is quite possible if you're using 360x480 mode (the default for
generic-VGA-only setups) and don't have vkludge enabled (also the
default, since it's much slower with that on), since it only draws
half the pixels - which would explain the "completely random
characters" he complains of in a later email.

(Try viewing /usr/share/doc/imagemagick/examples/screen.gif, for
example. Press `8' for 360x480 mode and, ouch. But note the difference
vkludge (`v') makes.)

So if my assumptions are correct, this is someone who reported this as
a bug a) without realising the compromises necessary for 360x480 to be
useful *at all*, and b) without even trying a different video mode to
see if that helped. The best way to interpret this bug would be as an
implicit complaint about inadequate documentation on the
320x400/360x480 modes, which has since been fixed (with the `Virtual
Modes' section).
