Checking for virtual fonts

Before proceeding to view or print a DVI file created for the first time, it is a good idea to check and see if any virtual fonts are used (section [*] has more information about virtual fonts). Select ``Fix VFs in DVI'' from the TEX menu and open nasty.dvi. lists all the fonts used in the DVI file and prefixes each font with its type:


PK indicates a packed pixel font (see section [*]);

PS indicates a PostScript font (see section [*]);

VF indicates a virtual font.


As it happens, nasty.dvi does use a couple of virtual fonts, so processes every page, fixes all virtual font references and creates a new version of nasty.dvi. If your documents use virtual fonts, it is advisable to tick ``Fix VFs after TEX'' in the TEX menu; then you don't have to remember to run ``Fix VFs in DVI'' before viewing or printing a DVI file.
