Description

Add support for reading XPS documents. As discussed in ticket #260, GhostPDL may be a viable option, as it renders XPS.

GhostPDL - and in fact, all Aladdin-licensed libraries - should be avoided.

A good option for XPS might be ​libgxps, which is used in, for example, Evince.

As of this writing, ​libgxps requires glib, gobject, gio, cairo, libarchive and freetype. It optionally depends on libjpeg and libtiff for image rendering support and liblcms for ICC based colors support.

This list may make this impractical to port at this time.
