tried that, and yes, it works with kdvi, so there's something screwed up |
| 17 |
in the xdvi config. However, I've found some other fonts that seem to |
| 18 |
work OK with xdvi, but not kdvi AARRGG! |

Have you ever tried the "times" package, which switched everything to PS |
| 31 |
Times fonts. That's where things really go to heck. With the CM fonts it |
| 32 |
works well, except the scalable fonts in the pdf issue. |
