We have dvitool 2.0 running under SunOS 4.0.3 on Sun-3s. On large characters (w>32) it mangles the raster. The character looks streaky like those special effects in advertising titles and is half as tall as it should be. I suspect a bug in creating the scan lines. We are using pk font files. My question is: this doesn't seem to have happened before so has something changed in pixrect library (3.4 -> 4.0.3) that caused the assumptions made in dvitool invalid? I know the source makes some possibly unwarranted assumptions about pixrects (contiguous, aligned to short word boundaries). Does this ring a bell for someone? Before I dig in. I also know dvitool is byte order dependent, but this is not the problem here, we are running on Sun-3s. Thanks, Ken ken@cs.rochester.edu ..!rochester!ken
