I have make the following test:
1. A simple LaTeX document, which uses the EC fonts
%-----------------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
This is a Test.
\end{document}
%-----------------------------------
2. The resulting dvi file can be viewed with `xdvi' without problems.
3. I get the archive
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/vtex/common/vtex-fonts2.zip
from CTAN (attention: 24MB!). This archive contains files with extension
.pfb and basenames of the EC fonts. These fonts are encoded and can be
used only with VTeX.
4. I show my test dvi file again with the unpacked fonts in the same
directory:
T1_LoadFont(): Loading font with ID = 0 failed!
(mode = -2) Could not load T1 font ecrm1000 from
ecrm1000 alias ./ecrm1000.pfb
I think `xdvi' should use the pk fonts in the case of unusable
Type-1-fonts.
