Summary: xdvik+T1lib renders some fonts incorrectly

Initial Comment:
Glyphs rendered by T1lib 5.1.2 under xdvik 22.84.16 are sometimes shifted, changed in length, or both. The problem goes away when T1lib is bypassed by using ps2pk or gsftopk to create a PK version of the font, and the problem also goes away if xdvik is bypassed entirely by converting the DVI file to PS or PDF and then using gv or acroread to display the result. Screen shots, additional info, and instructions to reproduce the problem are here:

Thanks.

Message:
I believe that this is the same as bug #2914532, which was fixed a while
ago and released recently in xdvi-22.84.17.  Version 22.85 (or newer) of
xdvi will be included in TeX Live 2012.
