--- Quote from: cesium133 on 10 Jul 2020, 09:09 ---Back when I was in grad school, I was given a large collection of... less than legally-obtained... physics textbooks in DjVu format. It was a useful format, but even back then it was hard to find good software for that format.

I seem to remember that DjVu was supported, on Linux at least, 10-ish years ago, but don't quote me on that.

EDIT: Tova, the definition of .pdf is Postscript with whatever bullshit Adobe decides to add? Has that changed?

I’m an experimental physicist, not a theoretical physicist. I run Windows.

hedgie:
My condolences.

sitnspin:
if i was still on speaking terms with my ex, an astrophysicist, i would ask her what she uses, for comparison.

cesium133:
Most of the astrophysicists I've met (and seen the computers of) used Macs, and the rest used Linux.

zmeiat_joro:
I remember finding it funny that the "portable document format" was anything but portable.
