Once more teTeX: xdvi stupidly runs ljfour

[Hubert Palme]

answer. Is there really nonody wo can help?

Hi,

I upgraded my Debian Linux from 2.1 (Slink) to 2.2 (Potato) and thus
teTeX from 0.9 to 1.0. As default Mode I selected qmsostf, and now I
find this mode in

/etc/texmf/XDvi
/etc/texmf/mktex.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/xdvi/XDvi

the last one being a link to /etc/X11/Xresources/tetex-base. The first
one seems to be an old file.

But xdvi stupidly makes fonts for mode ljfour. So, please, where do I
find the REAL default mode for xdvi? And what does texconfig really do 
when setting the dafault mode? (dvips is OK.)

May be, some of the above files are obsolete now?

Thanks in advance,

This usually does not happen in teTeX, so I thought this was a debian problem...

In the xdvi wrapper script, replace the last line by
  strac xdvstrace -e open xdvi.bin $NAMEOPT ${1+"$@"}

The strace output will show the names of all files which xdvi.bin opens.
