Re: xdvi: Unable to load encoding vector 8r.enc

Indeed: when using the supplied t1lib (i.e. no --with-system-t1lib) or our custom t1lib 1.3.1 installation, xdvi works fine. (This is now with tetex-src-beta-20020530.) I suggest adding an appropriate t1lib check (for version or functionality) to configure. Thanks for your help.

It's the result of erroneously calling perror(xdvi) thus accessing the last value of errno, which unfortunately has nothing to do with the internal T1_errno from t1lib that xdvi ought to report here. (Strangely, there seems to be no utility function in T1lib for mapping T1_errno to a human-readable message? Will need to investigate this.) Could you maybe send me your file /net/pub/teTeX-beta-20020402/share/texmf/dvips/base/8r.enc ? It's a bit difficult to know exactly where in the teTeX diffs that version is located, and I'd rather not have to download all of them ;) Best, Stefan

After some off-list discussion with Stefan Ulrich (thanks for the help) I can temporarily summarize as follows: Patching dvi-draw.c and recompiling xdvik reveals T1_errno=15 (T1ERR_UNSPECIFIED). This happens with our installation of t1lib 1.0.1 (--with-system-t1lib) on all of our Solaris, Tru64 Unix and SuSE Linux machines. xdvi -not1lib (or xdvi.t1lib: False in app-defaults/XDvi) works around the problem. The problem is still present with beta-20020530 (to which I just upgraded). Kind regards, Thomas -- Thomas Anders [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin, Germany

From t1lib/CHANGES: July 2001: t1lib-1.2: -- [...] - Additional support for dvips encoding files (thanks to suggestion and contribution by Nicolai Langfeldt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I've now added a hint about this to the error message - hope this will help to prevent such problems in the future ;-) Best, Stefan
