Much of the traffic on this list in the last month or two has been concerned with the joys of Type-1 fonts and the woes of their imperfections, especially when creating PDF documents.
I have sympathy with the desire to standardize on something, and I accept that the archive also contains documents not produced using MusiXTeX, which rules out the DVI format as a universal standard. Nevertheless, "if it ain't broken don't fix it." Of all the viewers I have for documents, the DVI viewer looks best on my screen when viewing TeX-produced documents. Next best is Ghostview. Last is Acrobat Reader. Now Ghostview is just as freely available from the exact same company as Acrobat Reader. The only defect of the Postscript format versus PDF as far as I can see, is that some minimal installations of Windows 9x don't have Ghostview, but might (only might) have Acrobat Reader. If we do need to cater to those who don't have TeX, why can't we stick with Postscript?
