[comp.windows.x] making xtex display white on black

rlk@think.COM (Robert L Krawitz) (04/25/91)

Has anyone had any luck making xtex display the page white on black?
I've been unable to get it to do so.  I've made everything but the page
display this way, but I'd like to make the page display this way (the
reverse of how it prints out).

My normal display is white on black, but I prefer black on white for
xtex. I have the following in my resources file.

Xtex*DviPage*ReverseVideo: true

Btw, the following resources may help as well:

Xtex.print: dvips -Pgutenberg

where 'gutenberg' is a local printer - this sets the default print
command.  You can also use '%f' as the file name in the 'print'
directive if it can't appear as the last word in the print. Thus, if
you needed to use ``print foo.dvi -via-arcane-method'' you could say:

Xtex.print: print %f -via-arcane-method

and that should do it. A manual. Gotta write a manual.
