Currently Konqueror supports Netscape plugins indeed, | as well as being able to use KDE components embedded into webpages too. | Unless someone develops support for Mozilla plugins, those won't be | supported. it's supposed that Netscape plugins use Motif interface. Support for Motif (inside plugin space) is added in KDE with help of LessTif (library). LessTif is royalty-free Motif implementation. So, if Adobe's SVG viewer uses Motif, it can be ported to Linux easily. I even don't think that it's KDE-related. To improve user experience, Adove may want to make KPart from it. Than any user will be able to view SVG inside Konqueror window, even without web page embedding this SVG - just like now it displays GIF, JPEG, PNG, SWF (with Macromedia Flash plugin installed). Probably David Faure can provide more info on KParts :-) | | > Can you please point us to more ressources on the Konqueror plugin | > architecture? | | I'm not sure what we have about that, Stefan did the NSPlugin stuff. | Hopefully other people from kfm-devel will give you more info on this. I guess that Adobe may want to write SVG KPart for Konqueror. Than it's possible to add SVG KPart as .svg MIMEtype handler, the rest is easy ;-) So, you need link to KParts stuff. -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html Do you have Arial font installed?
