Bug#517877: dvi file unreadable

[Ian Schindler <ian.schindler@gmail.com>]

Sorry, I should have checked things more carefully before filing the bug.  The dvi files are fine, the problem is with xdvi.  I can use the dvi files to make pdf files that look fine.  When I transfer them to another machine, xdvi opens them and they look fine.  When I open them on my laptop (a Dell M1210) with xdvi, they are unreadable.  Thanks for any hints.

Can't reproduce it here. Could you send in the dvi file?
