Dear Gerard,

The current "external.png"
implementation is horribly broken in
languages that are right to left like Farsi, Hebrew, Arabic. So
let's create a "pdf icon" only when the implementation of the
external.png is fixed. Let's not add more garbage in a manner that
we know is broken.
however, it doesn't matter, where that icon actually is (left or
right -- this can be programmable, dependent on the direction of
writing).
My point is, do we want this or not ?

My point is that I do not want something that is broken. Forward
portability is nonsense when it breaks things. So Firefox and Mozilla
NEED to be on the list of browsers that should not show it.
As a left-to-right firefox user, I like the little external icon (and
a .pdf one would be nice, although I don't think I have seen a PDF link
yet), thankyouverymuch.
If you can fix the icons for right-to-left or other borken browsers, fine.
This is, however, independend on whether PDF should have an icon or not.
Maybe the broken-browser-dont-show-icons code needs to be adjusted, or a
user setting ("Disable link icons") needs to be added.
Best wishes,
Tels
The code
should automagically decide on being right OR left depending on the
language. As to do we want it. I do not want it as long as there is no
audience for it. (No IE no Firefox/Mozilla for whom are you doing this
??)
PS there is a Firefox bug report about this one.
Thanks,
GerardM
