The -last public release was xdvik-22.06-t1-alpha4. Due to the excelent -work done by Paul Vojta in xdvi and Rainer Menzner in t1lib this has -been a lot easier than it could have been. - -The t1 functionality will eventualy be part of xdvik, so test now or -tear your hair later ;-) - -xdvik-t1-beta1 has these features: -- Based on t1lib 0.9 -- Faster startup than alpha4 due to defered t1 font loading. But t1 - font loading still has quite high overhead compared to pk font - loading. Keep your xdvi going, don't quit it each time. -- Correct glyph sizes for scaled fonts (e.g., cmr10 at 17pt and so on) -- Better accomodation for asian languages. -- dvips compatible w.r.t. fontmaps, but some changes in your maps to - accomodate xdvi might still be needed. -- automatic encoding recognition heuristic, minimizing the fontmaps needed - in most cases. No fontmaps needed for cmr10 and the other type1 cm and - ams fonts, or indeed, most other TeX fonts. -- helper program to steal fonts from ghostscript to use as Times-Roman - and all the other usual Postscript fonts. Some of these will require - fontmaps though. -- helper function to use your commercial postscript fonts. Some of these - will also require fontmaps - you can probably use your existing maps. - -Please read the documents, in particular the README and XDVIFONTS -files, there are new things in these for everyone. It should be quite -easy to install in a recent teTeX installation though. - -I want comments, remarks and patches, even for the smallest nit, xdvi -is quite important to the Unix TeX community, so help me help you. -Please send it to janl@linpro.no. Due to time restraints it might be -a while before I'm able to answer or adress the problems raised -though. - -xdvik-t1 is available from http://www.math.uio.no/~janl/xdvi/t1/, -ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/ and, after a mirroring delay, on CTAN. - -13/05/1999 -- Nicolai Langfeldt |
