It is good to know that -dev xwin at least works, but I think you will likely prefer to use either -dev qtwidget or -dev xcairo since they have access to much better fonts. Because the xcairo device is based on X it may also be as slow as -dev xwin, but -dev qtwidget might be much faster since there is a chance it is based directly on the native Windows interactive display capability rather than X. Anyhow, try all the interactive devices (which the test_interactive target does for you as well) and see which you like the best in terms of speed and font choice.
