dviv, a dvi viewer for freetype2

[crusius_at_stanford . edu]

Hi guys. Below is the announcement for DVIV. Its a good freetype test,
and still crashes on some fonts with the freetype version I have here.
freetype developers would service from using dviv as their standard
dvi viewer because at some point it may reveal a bug in freetype as it
did before!

-----------------------------
DVIV is a DVI viewer that uses the GGI library for graphics and the
freetype2 library for fonts. This means that the very same program can
be used to view DVI files in the console, under X windows, and so on.
Since it uses freetype2 for fonts, it can render DVI files directly
from Type1 and TrueType fonts without the need for an intermediate PK
file. You can find it at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dviv



A note about fonts: Since the program uses freetype2 for fonts, until
freetype2 gets support for MF files you must have PostScript/TrueType
versions of all the fonts you use.  Most distributions come with fonts
for TeX, but some LaTeX fonts are not included by default (lcircle,
for example).

He who sacrifices functionality for ease of use
Loses both and deserves neither
