Nothing exotic at all: cmr10.300.pk

The error message is:

For what it is worth, I don't seem to be able to produce this
with any DVI files I create.  If you have one in particular you
would like me to verify, you can email it to me.


What version of xdvi are you running?  I have a recent port:

$ xdvi -version
xdvik version 22.84.10 (@(#)Motif Version 2.2.3, runtime version 2.2)
Libraries: kpathsea version 3.5.2, T1lib version 5.1.2

HI Andrew,

 Exactly which fonts are you having trouble with?  I can tell you
 whether I can reproduce the issue under 7.1.

Nothing exotic at all: cmr10.300.pk

The error message is:

$ xdvi memo
Note:  overstrike characters may be incorrect.
 xdvi: Wrong number of bits stored:  char. 68, font cmr10
$

Any other font will give the same error message for one character or
another.

Thanks for the help,

olivier

After trying on 7.1 and having the same problem, I resolve to install
from the source the latest version of xdvi and the installation went
fine.

I suspect there is a problem with the size of the int/short/long as
Xdvi detects wrong number of bits in some font files, while these same
font files are used without problem by other ports and are identical
to font files generated in x86 system.


Though I am now on 7.1, I was using xdvi on 6.4/amd64 without
noticing any issues.

Xdvi with amd64

[Olivier Nicole]

Hi,

Is there known issue with the port of Xdvi (/usr/ports/print/xdvi) on
6.4 amd64?

I suspect there is a problem with the size of the int/short/long as
Xdvi detects wrong number of bits in some font files, while these same
font files are used without problem by other ports and are identical
to font files generated in x86 system.

Is there an option to compile a port in strict 32 bits mode?

TIA

Olivier
