I recently downloaded dvipage.tar.Z from june.cs.washington.edu, directory
tex.  I got a problem.  In dvipage.h there are options to trigger which
font types to use (gf, pk, pxl). The program works fine with pxl fonts but
doesn't do it with pk fonts. When using pk-fonts it doesn't display all
characters, it simply skips some characters, so that the word "the"
becomes sometimes "te", the logo "LaTeX" is reduced to "LTe" etc. There
are many of this faults, but there is simply no rule in the occurence of
this misbehaviour. Is this a know bug to dvipage, version 3.0? If so, is
there anywhere a patch to this anomalie?  Any hint/help highly welcomed.
