For a DVI previewer I always use Xtex (i use X11 not OW now, OW is TOO SLOW). Again some problems here as it uses X fonts that don't have ligatures and don't match X char set exactly. This problem occurs as I use PS fonts with TeX encodings - this won't occur with cm fonts as you have the right encoding of the bitmaps. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- david shepherd: des@inmos.co.uk or des@inmos.com tel: 0454-616616 x 529 inmos ltd, 1000 aztec west, almondsbury, bristol, bs12 4sq Leland says, you're going back to Missoula ...
