Thread: SD: Klingons on Linux

    SD: Klingons on Linux

    I have downloaded the PDF of the Klingon supplement for Spacedock, and I run Linux, but I am having a problem reading it. The body text does not appear when I open. I have tested it on Windows machines, and it works fine there, and I have no problem reading any of the other Spacedock supplements. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

    I noticed after I posted my last comment that there was an area dedicated to just Spacedock. Should I repost the message there? Besides, I also noticed I used bad grammar. As an English major, I find that embarrassing.

    Speaking as the layout guy who worked on it, the Klingon sbook was pdf-ized almost a decade ago. I have no doubt there's multiple compatibility issues lurking in the font embedding. How many different Linux pdf readers have you run it through?

    My gosh. A decade ago, makes me cry cause LUG remains rather awesome.

    Try downloading Acrobat reader 9 directly from Adobe (you can also probably get it from your package installer). It works on Linux (I'm running it now actually) and I think this would be your best shot for opening any PDF file.

    I finally got it working. It was easy once I had the time. Thank you all for your help.
