A few things are worth noting about version 1.01 of DVIview:
- TEX uses a different font for each font size because
fonts should look different at different sizes; they shouldn't just
be scaled up. This is why there are so many fonts in the !TeXFonts
directory. Remember to set a large font cache to speed up screen
redraws.
- DVIview uses RISC OS outline fonts to draw characters. The advantage
of using outlines is that they only take about 20% of the disc space
needed to store a full set of pk files and they can be plotted at
any point size. The disadvantage is that you are limited to the fonts
provided (although for most people that won't be a problem). There is
(currently) no automated way of generating outline fonts from metafont
files.
- When viewing a document, DVIview keeps the dvi file open. If you
need to re-create the dvi file then you must first close all the
windows displaying that document otherwise TEX will not be able
to write to the dvi file. I have some ideas about doing this
automatically but the implementation will have to wait for a future
release.
