[comp.windows.news] TeX previewer

In response to the question regarding the availability of a TeX previewer
for NeWS (rohlicek%bbn.com@bbn.com  (Robin Rohlicek) ), I currently use
dvitool which was written by Jeff McCarrell (jwm@renoir.berkeley.edu).
I works fine but it is written for suntools (which of course means it runs
on NeWS but rather presumptuously).  If anyone knows of a TeX previewer
written specifically for NeWS and/or is better than dvitool, I too would be 
interested in hearing about it.   dvitool works fine except when you try
to display fonts that aren't in your TeX fonts directory (i.e., there is
no default font), you just get a bunch of dots on the screen in that case.
