Xdvi does a fine job of previewing .dvi files on an X display. If one
wants instead a human readable display, the output is not suitable
since xdvi subsamples .pxl files of typically 300 or 240 dpi resolution
by a factor of 3 or 4 to fit the output on a ~1k x ~1k display.

Does anyone know of a source for .pxl files of ~80dpi resolution so
that xdvi could be used to make a human readable display?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a program that will display dvi
files on an X display using the 'closest' X font file.  I realize that
using X font files directly would probably be faster, but might run
into alot of problems with spacing and character set differences
unless someone designed a set of .onx files to match corresponding .pxl
files.

Please reply directly as I am not subscriber to both groups.
I will summarize and post if I discover anything interesting.

Thank you,
