You are late and wrong ;-) Late because i already commited a patch that fixes it. Wrong because our port is incomplete, as you can see kdvi_multipage.cpp called[1] DVIRenderer.setPrefs that called[2] font_pool.setParameters to set if using hinting or not and the default was not using it[3] Did i convice you?
