Re: problems setting mf/dvips mode with tetex 3

Hello Dirk,

thanks for your bug report / question.

Stefan Ulrich has suggested to me to keep a fixed setting of mode=ljfour
and dpi=600 for xdvik, independend from texconfig. 600dpi are good for
today's 100dpi displays, because xdvik uses antialiasing.

That sounds strange. xdvi should directly using the cmex10.pfb file
(a Postscript Type 1 font) without generating a bitmap font.

Yes. Please send the output of
  xdvi -version
and
  texconfig conf
directly to me.
