Hi Werner,
you select page `13' in acroread, you actually go to the page labeled
`13' which is physical page 36 or so. To go to page `xiii', you have
to type `xiii' in the `go to Page' dialogue.
It's not clear to me that this is necessarily an improvement, if this
behavior is unalterable. Sometimes I want to go to physical page
numbers, sometimes to logical. Especially if the free viewers ignore
the info at present -- then acrobat would behave one way and xpdf/gv
another. That doesn't sound too good. Nor, perhaps most importantly,
do I want to add a feature that only works with nonfree software.
So my question: Is anybody from the texinfo team going to add this?
Since I've never heard of it before your message :), no, nothing is in
the works. It doesn't sound terribly difficult to add, though.
At least I ask to put it on the TODO list.
Sure.
Thanks for mentioning it.
