Bug#171913: tetex-bin: xdvi: PostScript-Font searching undocumented and new behaviour
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20021025-4
Severity: important
xdvi used to work flawlessly with locally installed T1-PostScripts-Fonts
without fallback (resorting to use gsftopk).
The newest xdvi fails to find the installed *8a.pfb-Files, it searches
instead *8r.pfbs and tries to generate them afterwards (afer failing, of
course).
I'm using the recommended Berry-naming scheme.
Moreover it does not find xdvi.cfg. Copying a stock xdvi.cfg from
TexLive 7 fixes this problem.
Anyone which is not an expert with kpathsea is not able to fix this,
since the kpathsea search method with xdvi are severly underdocumented.
