Contents of the readme file

Sorry, this file got let out of the original distribution.

This directory contains several tools to manipulate the DVI files produced
by TeX and LaTeX. Additionally, it includes a re-distribution of the
DVI library routines written by Chris Torek at the University of Maryland.
The utilities included are:

dviselect	select specific pages from a DVI file
iptex		print a dvi file on an Imagen
texx		a dvi previewer for X-11 windows
texsun		a dvi previewer for SunView windows

texx2		a much improved dvi previewer for X-11 windows

To install this package, read the documentation in the file
doc/installation.tex. The short instructions follow.

FOR TEXX2:

	+ Change the binary path names in the ./Makefile.

	+ Select a location for your ``font description'' file, and copy and
	  modify the file in fontdesc-example to suit your local installation.
	  Change the main makefile to use that path for variable FONTDESC

	  The default is /usr/local/lib/tex82/fontdesc

	+ cd to texx2; Edit the Imakefile. Note that DEFAULT_TFM_PATH
	  defines the default path for finding .tfm files, just like TeX.

	+ Build a Makefile from the Imakefile

	+ run ``make texx2'' at the main level

	+ texx2 should now be built. You'll need to install some fonts.

	+ in run texx2/mftobdf -mag 1000 -scaled 1000 cmr10. If mftobdf
	  can't find your font, you've got a bad fontdesc file or the
	  path to it is wrong.

	+ assuming that this works, edit texx2/buildfonts to suite your
	  local X configuration. I keep fonts in /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/cmr,
	  and have added this to my font path using
		% xset +fp /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/cmr
		% xset fp rehash

	+ in texx2, run "buildfonts -mag 500 `cat FONTS` " to build a
	  fair number of standard fonts. Note that the default is
	  300 dpi. If you want a smaller set too, say ``-mag 333''.

	+ You can use other DPI's -- both texx2 & mftobdf have switches
	  for this.
