Firstly, thank you for this extremely handy blog. I frequently find useful/helpful little tips and notes here, both for myself, and for sharing with Ubuntu “newbies”.

I have used, and on occasion still do use kchmviewer under KDE and it does the job quite well, however, one other nifty option possibly worth mentioning here is the ‘archmage’ package (found in the Universe repositories on Ubuntu, under the Utilities category, last I checked) which comes with a couple of .chm dumping/extraction tools, but it also happens to provide a couple of nice options to conveniently serve your .chm files (via Apache mod_chm or standalone) directly to any web browser you happen to prefer.

That’s my two cents… I hope it helps someone, somewhere, sometime…

I tried gnochm on my Acer Aspire One, but the font was too small. I could enlarge it, but the scrollbar would not adjust to accommodate the larger content and I could not see it all.

xchm, however, works great right out of the box and I didn’t even have to mess with the fonts.

I just wondering, Is there any possible font setting in hidden directory for this application.Because the default font size is too small.

Thank u.
