Type and version:	POWER 7.7B
Display type:		POWER_Gt1

What were you trying to do?

	Test xdvi on a 7.7 RS/6000.  My path is such that I got the sipb
version of xdvi instead of /usr/athena/bin/xdvi.

What's wrong:

	The three files I tried to preview all complained about missing
fonts; xdvi failed to run.  The error messages included the following:

	Can't find font cmbx10.
	Can't find font cmbx10.
	Can't find font cmti10.
	Can't find font cmr10.
	xdvi: Not all pixel files were found

What should have happened:

	Well, it would be nice if xdvi ran.  It works on a 7.6 machine,
and /usr/athena/bin/xdvi runs just fine.  Unfortunately, I don't know
what changed with the 7.7 release to break this but I can try to find
out.  (The sipb xdvi runs just fine on a Sun.)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
