Real World Haskell

Thanks to Dino for the following photo of the epub digital version of RWH, which has “shipped”. We’d love to hear about reader experiences with the digital version!

   the fonts in the pdf version are not as good as those in other
   pdf books i have purchased from oreilly. i hope that they rebuild the pdf sometime to fix this error, although it is readable as is.
   i am using xpdf with the latest ubuntu to read the book.

   I’m sorry to hear that your PDF reader is having a problem with our PDFs. We embed fonts in the PDFs in the best way I know how. I spent about 12 months improving the interoperability of font embedding in our PDFs and think they’re the best we can produce. I’d suggest filing a bug with XPDF and trying Acrobat for Linux or KPDF.

   kpdf is based on libpoppler, which is based on xpdf. so i suggest acrobat reader or gv, which uses ghostscript.

   The PDF is hard to read when using Okular (KDE 4 document viewer) but is perfect with Evince (GNOME document viewer).

   @Michael: Thanks for the clarification of kpdf, I never can keep track of which project have branched.

   @Andrei: Thanks for the recommendation on Evince.
