i find that gnochm doesn't display the chm files correctly. my book has buttons to go to the next page and the previous. this doesn't get displayed correctly (not at all) in gnochm. i switched to xchm and i don't get the same error.

anyways, i wanna customize the .chm icon instead of having the default unknown gnome file icon. how do i do this?

Gnochm is now available in the Ubuntu repositories. I did
sudo apt-get install gnochm
It worked very well.

True enough. I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu Linux, Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 and I tried that very line: it worked perfectly. None of my repositories have been tweaked yet. So this right from what's available to a new user.

Thanks.

A friend of mine sent me a few non-English (Chinese) chm files and I tried to read them with gnochm and xchm - both cannot display the non-English characters. Then I installed chmsee - nothing else - and you know what? I can now read all those chm files. So if you have trouble reading non-English chm files, try chmsee.

I've just installed ChmSee from Software Center and it works like a charm,,,
