For anyone who's trying to use Texmacs with Wayland, launch it with texmacs -platform wayland otherwise you will get a very blurry rendering.

The Pkgbuild reads, "Do not remove texlive-core dependency, as it is needed". TeXLive-2022 has been installed, do I have to uninstall it before installing this package? Many thanks.

According to this comment on forum. I removed my ~/.TeXmacs directory, and now it's running OK

Hi @medwatt, I will take a look what is is going on. As I suggest to @garid3000 and I also recommend to share in TeXmacs forum for a wide discussion.

I am facing one issue which I hope you can have a look at. In TeXmacs, if you insert a vector image in pdf format, TeXmacs first converts the image to png using ghostscript and then inserts the png into the document. Even though I have ghostscript installed, the TeXmacs built from this aur package does not find ghostscript and instead uses qt to convert the image, which is usually in a very low resolution. I know this issue is from ghoscript not being found because I enabled debugging when converting the image and got the message below. Can you please have a look at the way at why TeXmacs built from this package is not able to fond ghostscript.

TeXmacs] debug-convert, image_to_png ...  using qt 
TeXmacs] debug-convert, qt_convert_image /home/medwatt/sample.pdf -> /home/medwatt/.TeXmacs/system/tmp/181386/tmp_63472292.png

Hi @garid3000, could you please uninstall and install again. I am not sure something related with sonames. If the issue persists we could try report in the TeXmacs mailing list.
