And I don't think I got your mail, which is odd. The Debian BTS
works very reliably in my experience.
Aha, maybe the difference is that I am using PK fonts generated with
mfmode=ricoh (i.e., localfont := ricoh; at the end of my modes.mf).
What mode are you using when you compare T1 with no-T1 renderings?
Here is detailed information and attached files including screendumps
so you can see what I'm talking about.

Not sure I need all these:
1 Bitmaps
2 DVI translation
4 PK fonts
8 Batch mode: Exit after reading the DVI file
32 File opening
64 Interaction with the PostScript interpreter
65536 T1 lib
131072 More verbose T1 lib messages
sum is 196719
Test file test.tex as in previous email.
Ran the following commands. Modified my texmf.cnf to use only
standard Debian teTeX source trees
latex test
xdvi -not1lib -debug 196719 test.dvi &> test-without-t1.xdvi-log
xdvi -debug 196719 test.dvi &> test-with-t1.xdvi-log
xdvi test.dvi &
xdvi -not1lib test.dvi &
xwd -out test-with-t1.xwd
xwd -out test-without-t1.xwd
Attached tarball testdvi.tgz expands into ./testdvi and contains:
drwxrwxr-x swift/swift 0 testdvi/

-rw-rw-r-- swift/swift 1795 testdvi/test.log

-rw-rw-r-- swift/swift 194683 testdvi/test-with-t1.xdvi-log
-rw-rw-r-- swift/swift 235307 testdvi/test-with-t1.xwd
The .xwd files are screen dumps made with xwd. The difference is
obvious: the T1 renderings are spidery.
