  19. xdvik-18b, kpathsea version 2.0
  20.  
  21. xdvi fails to invoke MakeTeXPK.
  22.  
  23. In font-open.c:35, the following call is made:
  24.  
  25.       name = kpse_find_glyph (font, (unsigned) (dpi + .5),
  26.                               kpse_any_glyph_format, &file_ret);
  27.  
  28. Which leads to tex-glyph.c:266 (NOTE: format=kpse_any_glyph_format):
  29.  
  30.           ret = kpse_make_tex (format, font_name);
  31.  
  32. Which leads to tex-make.c:183:
  33.  
  34.   spec = kpse_format_info[format];
  35.   
  36.   if (spec.program)
  37.     {
  38.       /* See the documentation for the envvars we're dealing with here.  */
  39.  
  40. The problem is, kpse_format_info[kpse_any_glyph_format].program is null.
  41.  
  42. proginit.c:42 sets kpse_format_info[kpse_pk_format].program properly, but
  43. doesn't touch kpse_format_info[kpse_any_glyph_format].program:
  44.  
  45.   /* Might have a program-specific name for MakeTeXPK itself.  */
  46.   kpse_format_info[kpse_pk_format].program
  47.     = kpse_format_info[kpse_any_glyph_format].program
  48.     = getenv (makepk_var);
  49.  
  50. So, what's the right fix?  Change how font-open.c calls kpse_find_glyph?
  51. Change how proginit.c initializes kpse_format_info?  Force tex-make.c to
  52. always use kpse_pk_format?
