-Xdvik with t1 fonts.
-
-With this I announce the availability of xdvik-22.06-t1-beta1. 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.
