Yes I missed to comment it better.

This is a new feature of PGP which is not defined in rfc2440 and
therefore I'm not going to support it.  A picture does not result
in a more trusted key and it makes keys really huge.  Its is better to
compare the passport picture.  There is already a Faces database
available.  Signing a checksum of that picture does make more sense
than to put the picture into the keyring.

I know that a program which displays pictures sells better than one
that only displays names.

Yes. But you can ignore it if you know that RSA is available and you
can do a runtime check by looking at the output of gpg --version

Try:  $ echo wwwkeys.{eu,us}.pgp.net
