If it's the fastest way to get back a working OS it can be a real good
solution. Or at least the most practical.
Neither xemacs nor xdvi work at the moment - and I have to use these
programs several hours a day.

I've attached a stripped down version. xdvi still produces the same
output.

These fonts are installed:

tmm@blade:~$ dpkg -l 'xfonts*' | grep ^ii
ii  xfonts-100dpi  4.3.0-0pre1v4  100 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-100dpi- 4.3.0-0pre1v4  100 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from
ISO 106
ii  xfonts-75dpi   4.3.0-0pre1v4  75 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-75dpi-t 4.3.0-0pre1v4  75 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from
ISO 1064
ii  xfonts-base    4.3.0-0pre1v4  standard fonts for X
ii  xfonts-base-tr 4.3.0-0pre1v4  standard fonts for X (transcoded from
ISO 10
ii  xfonts-scalabl 4.3.0-0pre1v4  scalable fonts for X

ttf-commercial added the fonts of Windows XP.
