My question is this: What am I missing without png support, without

the time programming. My original wish has been fullfilled, which
was nice looking toolbars on windows, but I wanted to know if it
might be a good idea to build emacs with support for the other image
formats as well. But if it doesn't matter to what I do with emacs, I
don't want to complicate my "build environment" unnecessarily.

You can use Emacs to browse/view images and directories containing
them, and there is something like
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex.html> if you
are using LaTeX for writing texts.


Thanks for the quick reply, David. If I get more serious in my attempt to learn latex, I will most definetly look into latex preview mode and try to build emacs with the image format support it needs for that. But as far as the "UI" is concerned, xpm is sufficient, right?
