System name:		navigator
Type and version:	KN02ba 7.4G
Display type:		PMAGB-BA

What were you trying to do?
	preview ~fmmoore/Public/jacek.dvi (the TeX file contains \l and
\L), and uses the default latex font at the default size.

What's wrong:
	when previewed using /usr/athena/bin/xdvi, and none of
XDVIFONTS, TEXFONTS, or XDVISIZES set, the \l character looks like an
English l with one pixel to its right (even when magnified, both with
Shrink 1 and the mouse buttons in Shrink 3).  The \L character looks
like an English L.

What should have happened:
	Both characters should have a short not-quite horizontal
crossbar through the [lL]; they do when printed, but not when previewed
with xdvi.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	p.40 of the Leslie Lamport Latex manual, Table 3.2 (has a
picture of what \l and \L should output)
