Bug#131336: more information
As of tetex-bin 2.0.2-3, this bug is still present. Also, the setting
of the X resource XDvi.not1lib and/or XDvi*not1lib to "true" or
"false" has no effect on the program. To turn off the use of the T1
library, one must use the command-line option -not1lib.
The following test file demonstrates that some fonts look very bad with
t1lib and look good without it. This seems to be a problem that
upstream wants to be reported to it. Quoting from the xdvi man page:
-not1lib (.not1lib) This will disable the use of T1Lib to display
PostScript<tm> fonts. Use this option as a
workaround when you encounter problems with the
display of T1Lib (but please don't forget to send a
bug report in this case, to the URL mentioned in the
section AUTHORS below).
