I haven't looked at ADVI at all, so far. Other previewers support
PostScript fonts through the kpathsea library which calls the script
mktexpk if the font isn't found. mktexpk converts PostScript fonts
into PK-fonts using the gsftopk utility (which is based on ghostscript).

gsftopk does the job and is called by xdvi to generate the pk fonts.
IMHO, what needs to be written is a decoder for virtual fonts and to
generate the right call to gsftopk.

Ok, it should be added in the docs then, in order to await confusion.

But i am curious, is it not possible to use the same mechanism for viewing
postscript images (well included eps ones) to rasterize the postscript fonts ?

(Not having looked at the code and other such).

Sorry. Currently, ADVI can handle pk-fonts only. Postscript fonts are
not supported. They can be easily supported, if someone writes a
rasterizer of postscript fonts...

I have exactly the same problem. It looks like it is something about
virtual fonts. As I always use postscript fonts, advi is nearly unusable
for me, which is a pity :-(

Mmm, i have written a more complete manpage for advi (attached below),
compiling information from the README file and the command line help, but
there was no reference about this feature, are there other such 'hidden'
features in advi ?

Also, it would be very nice if this would also be available as a command line
option (-f for example), as well as the fonts preload commands.

An example on how to do that would also be nice in the documentation. 

Saddly, i don't know how to do this personally.

BTW, i have had a bug report about advi 0.3.1 (not yet tested on advi 1.0.0,
but it may well be that this problem persist, as i was not able to view one of
my dvi files). The report was about problems when previewing dvi files which
contain postscript fonts (Times), and not finfing them (noting that xdvi
shows them without problem).

Is this the normal behavior, or is something wrong about it.

        Control F 

toggles Fullscreen mode 

(on-line help bindings does not seem uptodate)

However, it's behavior is just to make the window as large as you screen, 
and you may still need to tell your window manager not to put a frame
around. 

You can also launch advi with geometry argument so that it covers the 
screen completely.

[Caml-list] ActiveDVI and fullscreen?

[Will Benton]

I may be missing something, but is there a way to get ADvi into 
full-screen mode?
