I've noticed a bug in xdvi, which shows up at random times with random files.
(In other words, it's not an error that I can reproduce with any one file, or
at any time, or at all. :) Sometimes, when I make changes in the .tex file
I'm editing, after I run it through LaTeX, and I deiconify xdvi, when it
rereads it I get "xdvi: Non-existent font #72" and it crashes. (I believe I've
seen font #71 also, but I'm not sure.) After that, I can start up xdvi again
without any problem. The last time I got the error, I believe xdvi had to look
for a new font (I added a \subsubdivision command), but I don't think this is
always the case (that it's been when looking for new fonts, that is; I'd never
used the \subsubdivision command before, and I have gotten this error before.)
Again, since it has happened at random with different files, I haven't been
able to form some correlation, so I can't reproduce the error.
