Hi,
I duplicated this on a DS5000/25 running 7.6C. Looks like it's a problem with
xdvi instead of OLH, possibly related to the new TeX fonts?
Under 7.4, trying to view this document produces errors like, "Can't find font
foo, trying bar," and the document eventually displays.
Under 7.6, it just says, "Can't find font foo," then reports, "xdvi: Not all
pixel files were found" and the document never displays.
You can reproduce this by doing
help @rel76:system
or
xdvi /mit/builder/doc/7.6/rel76.dvi
If I turn off external viewers in olh (thus using dvi2tty, or whatever olh
-tty uses), the document is viewable (but ugly :-)
Thanks,
