Xdvi does a fine job of previewing .dvi files on an X display. If one wants instead a human readable display, the output is not suitable since xdvi subsamples .pxl files of typically 300 or 240 dpi resolution by a factor of 3 or 4 to fit the output on a ~1k x ~1k display. Does anyone know of a source for .pxl files of ~80dpi resolution so that xdvi could be used to make a human readable display? Alternatively, does anyone know of a program that will display dvi files on an X display using the 'closest' X font file. I realize that using X font files directly would probably be faster, but might run into alot of problems with spacing and character set differences unless someone designed a set of .onx files to match corresponding .pxl files. Please reply directly as I am not subscriber to both groups. I will summarize and post if I discover anything interesting. Thank you, Tom Arons arons@iris.ucdavis.edu
