   Does there exist a workaround for it? For example I have to use the IEEEtran

The advi FAQ at http://advi.inria.fr/faq.html says

    How to visualize Adobe PostScript fonts like ptmr8t using Active-DVI ?

    Answer: You have to preprocess the file with the command
    dvicopy which expands virtual fonts. For instance:

                dvicopy foo.dvi foo.advi && advi foo.advi

    usually works fine. 

Does this work for you?
