Hi!

I have a problem with xdvi... it's bloody slow in opening documents.
I have xfree86 and tetex installed manually (not via fink) and then I
installed system-tetex and xdvi.
When I open a dvi file it takes a long time checking fonts. And when I say
long I mean really long, it can be minutes for long documents.
Here is an example of the messages I get

mktexpk: /var/tmp/texfonts/pk/cx/public/cm/cmsy10.329pk already exists.
- mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 'magstep(0)' --dpi 300 cmmi6 '>&3'
mktexpk: /var/tmp/texfonts/pk/cx/public/cm/cmmi6.300pk already exists.
- mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 'magstep(0)' --dpi 300 cmmi8 '>&3'

This seems a normal tex message, but I can't believe it is supposed to be
so slow.
Moreover this happens every time I open a file, even if I close and reopen
the same file.
Also, I experience no similar problems with ghostview (with ps files) or
with another dvi previewer which doesn't use Xwindow.
Any idea on how to sort this out?

Many thanks,
cheers

Stefano
