Selecting pages

There are a number of interesting pages in nasty.dvi. Use ``Previous Page'', ``Next Page'' or ``Go to Page ...'' to have a look at some of them. Note that the current DVI/TEX page numbers are always displayed in the view window's title bar. Here are some points of interest:

The current scale factor and page location will only change if the selected page is off the paper, in which case will beep and display a full view. Pages 13 to 15 illustrate this behaviour. When you move from such a page to a normal page, switches back to the default view.
may take a little while to interpret and display a selected page, depending on how complicated it is. Hit Command-dot if you get bored.
Page 3 has examples of \special commands. is able to preview included files of type PICT, PNTG or EPSF; see section $[*]$ for more information. The location of each \special is indicated by a small marker. Note that the size of this marker does not change as you zoom in or out.
Page 9 uses a couple of PostScript fonts; see section $[*]$ .
All the fonts used on page 12 are deliberately missing.
Page 16 has examples of bad \special commands.

When you have finished previewing the DVI file just click in the view window's close box. The view window is also closed automatically when you run TEX, print a DVI file or load a configuration file.
