When I tried to xdvi a file, I got the following message about checksum errors and character not defined messages which I will include at the end of this message. XDvi does come up, but as the error/warning messages seem to indicate, there were characters unprinted. But the funny thing is these are VERY COMMON characters, like hyphens, commas, equal signs, etc. It's not that XDVI cannot find where the fonts are, I don't think. I had tried ftp-ing different packages version for v2.0 and v2.1, but the same sort of thing happened. If anyone who has experienced similar problems, and knows how to resolve this problem, I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thanks! - Fang ---------------- Example of XDVI error message output ----------------- Metafont failed for some reason on msam8.300gf xdvi: can't find font msam8; using cmr10 instead at 300 dpi.
