hi there! below is the announcement for dviv, a dvi viewer i finally
finished. unlike dview, which was a hack, this one is written from
scratch in a beautiful code (or at least i would like to think so!).
it uses freetype2 for fonts and ggi for graphics, so in theory it is
the last dvi viewer you will ever need. that's the only one i use now,
anyway.
ps: where's the ggi web browser??? 8)
---------------------------
DVIV is a DVI viewer that uses the GGI library for graphics and the
freetype2 library for fonts. This means that the very same program can
be used to view DVI files in the console, under X windows, and so on.
Since it uses freetype2 for fonts, it can render DVI files directly
from Type1 and TrueType fonts without the need for an intermediate PK
file. You can find it at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dviv
A note about fonts: Since the program uses freetype2 for fonts, until
freetype2 gets support for MF files you must have PostScript/TrueType
versions of all the fonts you use. Most distributions come with fonts
for TeX, but some LaTeX fonts are not included by default (lcircle,
for example).
