Bug#256728: advi: Can't handle fonts other then default in tex file

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

Package: advi
Version: 1.4.0-7
Severity: normal

When changing the default font in a tex file to things such as pslatex,
times or self created true type fonts package, the file is displayable
in xdvi but won't display in advi due to font problems. It seems that
advi is passing the wrong font name to mktexpk

for pslatex, the output from xdvi shows
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 dsrom10
and for advi the output shows (with errors that it can't build the font)
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ptmb8t
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ptmr8t

With times package:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 dsrom10
and advi:
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ptmb8t.
Warning: ptmb8t.pk is not found
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ptmb8t
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ptmr8t.
Warning: ptmr8t.pk is not found
...
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ptmr8t
...

with my own true type fonts (times):
with xdvi
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 0+480/600 --dpi 480 rtt_times
and advi:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 tt_times
