Berkeley Math. Department. +Keywords: + +OK, so this is a little late, but: + +This is to announce that patchlevel 18 for xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files +under the X Window System, has been released. This is a full release, +as opposed to a patch, due to the extent of the changes. It is available +via anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org in the file contrib/applications/xdvi.tar.Z +(and coming soon to a mirror site near you...). It is also available on +the R6 contrib tape. + +This version adds: + o Support for PostScript specials. + o Checking of checksums in the .dvi file vs. the .pk or .gf file. + o Non-square magnifying glasses. + +As was mentioned in the announcement of patch 17, it removes support for X10 +and for the pxl font format. + +- --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu + +------------------------------ + +Date: Mon, 08 Aug 1994 15:22:43 -0700 +From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta) +Subject: Announcing gsftopk 1.7 + +This is to announce the availability of Version 1.7 of gsftopk. +gsftopk is a package whose purpose is to allow use of PostScript<TM> fonts +with xdvi. It consists of: + + 1. A program called gsftopk.c which creates pk font files for the + PostScript fonts. The bitmaps are obtained from ghostscript. + 2. A script called xdvimakepk which is to be used in place of + MakeTeXPK in xdvi. + +The package requires the use of a dvips-style psfonts.map file. + +The package is available via anonymous ftp from math.berkeley.edu +in the file pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.tar.Z.

Version 1.7 of gsftopk +(or a later version) will be part of patchlevel 19 of xdvi.
