I run into this only occasionally, but when I do, it's somewhat of a pain -- for some of the .eps graphics files I use, yap absolutely won't render the .dvi file that contains them, regardless of the settings (in yap, or when I generate the .eps file). You can grab a MWE (.tex file and .eps file) showing an example of this, here: https://tinyurl.com/zw6pqj9 What is strange is that if I use .tex -> .dvi -> .pdf, image renders perfectly. If I print the image to a PS printer, prints perfectly. If I use GS to convert directly from .eps -> .pdf, works perfectly. And, every other .dvi viewer I try has no problem -- the .dvi file renders perfectly. The only situation where there is a problem is...yap absolutely refuses to render it. Specifics: Image is PostScript 3 (changing to PS 2 makes no difference), fonts as curves (although embedding as native fonts makes no difference). Even tried running eps2eps, but that made no difference. Yap (latest and greatest version -- 64-bit) is set to use dvips as the default rendering method. if I try a compile, I get the following error message from yap: first, error popup that the page could not be rendered. here is the log: MiKTeX Problem Report Message: The page could not be rendered. Data: Source: Libraries\MiKTeX\Dvi\DviPage.cpp Line: 752 MiKTeX: 2.9 OS: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, Service Pack 1, build 7601 Invokers: explorer/WinEdt SystemAdmin: no PowerUser: no Root0: C:\Users\egc\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9 Root1: C:\Users\egc\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9 Root2: C:\Users\egc\Desktop\egc\text\MikTeX Root3: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9 Root4: C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9 UserInstall: C:\Users\egc\Desktop\egc\text\MikTeX UserConfig: C:\Users\egc\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9 UserData: C:\Users\egc\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9 CommonInstall: C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9 CommonConfig: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9 CommonData: C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9 While this isn't a huge deal (I can go from .tex -> .dvi -> .pdf without problems), it is a nuisance, since my workflow is .tex <-> .dvi (do forever), and I only generate the PDF at the end. What I'm after here are suggestions as to what I might try? I'm puzzled as to what yap is choking on, whereas other .dvi viewers don't seem to have any problems at all with this particular image? This isn't a criticism of yap (which I use very successfully, except in this occasional case) -- but perhaps its a latent bug?
