Bug#130285: tetex-bin: xdvi cannot display some DVI file

[laurent bonnaud <Laurent.Bonnaud@inpg.fr>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-3
Severity: normal


Hi,

I'm trying to display this file with xdvi:

  http://epubs.siam.org/sam-bin/getfile/SIREV/articles/38698.dvi

but it fails because of missing fonts.  I thought that xdvi was supposed to
fall back on existing font by doing font substitutions.  Unfortunately, it does
not work.  After many mktexpk runs, xdvi displays the following messages:

xdvi.bin: can't find font gn; using cmr10 instead at 360 dpi.
xdvi.bin: Not all pixel files were found

and stops without opening a window.
