This program works nicely on IBM >compatibles but it came with a limited supply of fonts. Now, I do ... Ward's program is superb, and could become standard for PCs. But at present it only reads the .PXL font format. I have talked to Steve on the phone, and he agreed to put .PK support into DVIEW if I sent him the spec. I have done this, and also sent him the Beebe source for version 2.10 of the DVI family. I hope this will encourage Steve (ahem! Professor Ward) to put .PK into DVIEW. He is a *very* busy man. The current version of DVIEW is 2.5. So later versions may have .PK support. I suggest that we hold on for a bit, before making masses of .PXL files for ourselves, and see whether Prof. Ward will do his magic quickly.
