The xdvi we have here at MIT Project Athena, from comp.sources.x, Volume 3, issues 37-39 and 46, plus other patches (from expo.lcs.mit.edu? geneaology here is fuzzy), up to PATCHLEVEL 3, works fine for me on my DECstation 3100. Patchlevel 5 (in fully-applied form) is available by anonymous FTP from expo.lcs.mit.edu, /contrib/xdvi.shar.Z. >DECwindows does not supports libXmu.a Sounds like you are still running Ultrix 3.0/UWS 2.0. Talk to your sales rep and get an upgrade to Ultrix 3.1/UWS 2.1.

With no sampling (i.e. size 1) it looks fine. This is all with PK fonts for write-white engines. The keyboard input works fine for me under the Motif Window manager; are you setting the focus properly (select the window)? -- John Kohl or Digital Equipment Corporation/Project Athena (The above opinions are MINE. Don't put my words in somebody else's mouth!)
