Description
* Xreader version 3.0.2
* Mint 20.2
I don't know if it's always the case but I read several articles comparing MuPDF with Poppler and explaining that :
-
The rendering of MuPDF is better than the rendering of Poppler.
-
The speed of MuPDF is better than Poppler speed : https://gist.github.com/Sharpie/1262063 and https://hzqtc.github.io/2012/04/poppler-vs-mupdf.html
Would it be a good idea to use MuPDF by default in Xreader and Poppler for files that can't be opened with MuPDF ? Like Zathura https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/plugins/

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Xreader's current Poppler integration and the MuPDF/Poppler plugin approach used by Zathura; done means MuPDF is the default renderer and files it cannot open still use Poppler.
