[comp.text.tex] Wanted: What dvi2ps and preview software do YOU use ?

toms@omews44.intel.com (Tom Shott) (10/30/90)

I am trying to absorb all this information on TeX, fonts and previewers
and I am begin to drowned in all this knowledge.

Ideally I want one dvi to ps converter that will support 300dpi and 400dpi
laser printers. I would like the ability to use the builtin fonts.

Secondly I need a TeX previewer running under X11. I would like to use the
same fonts as the dvi to ps converter program uses (gf ? pk ?) Also for
draft previewing I would like to use X11 fonts instead of TeX fonts.

I am running in a Sun Unix environment under X11R4.

At present I am using dvips and xdvi. These packages don`t provide the
features I would like.

Please send email w/ what your instillation uses for a previewer and
converter combination. I'd like to hear if you have meet the goals I
outlined or if you have an idea how I could reach mine.

I`ll post a summary of replys received.
