How to get dviwin to work properly with MiKTeX ---------------------------------------------- i.e. use the screen fonts which come with MiKTeX, use MiKTeX's MakeTeXPK and METAFONT to generate missing fonts, and print to any printer. I have assumed that your TeX base directory is c:\texmf. If it isn't just substitute the correct directory in everything below. 1. Start dviwin without loading a .dvi file. Set both Options|Custom Resolutions... X Resolution 1 and Y Resolution 1 to 110. Set Resolution 2 to that of your printer, if you want to print from dviwin. 2. Select Resolution|110 at the end of the rightmost column of the menu, i.e. the custom resolution you just defined. The point of this is that the resolutions listed in the Resolution menu are not exactly what dviwin says they are, but are (de)magnifications of 300 dpi (see helpme.wri which comes with dviwin). The original dviwin 110 dpi is in fact 110.06 dpi. You may think this doesn't matter, but if you use this dviwin will end up looking for e.g. cmr10.pk in the dpi133 directory, whereas it should be looking in the dpi132 directory. 3. Set Options|Font Directory... to c:\texmf\fonts\pk\ibmvga\public\cm\dpi$r; c:\texmf\fonts\pk\ibmvga\public\latex\dpi$r; c:\texmf\fonts\pk\ibmvga\public\misc\dpi$r; c:\texmf\fonts\pk\ibmvga\tmp\dpi$r [I have broken the line after each semicolon. You shouldn't - its all one line] [Note: change "ibmvga" to "cx" above to get prettier (but slower) screen output, as well as the ability to print from dviwin to 300dpi laser printers --BJ] If you want to print from dviwin, append the printer font directories to the above, e.g. for 360 dpi Epson LQ and compatibles, using the lqhires METAFONT mode c:\texmf\fonts\pk\lqhires\tmp\dpi$r (Note that MiKTeX doesn't come with any lqhires pk fonts, they will all be generated on demand) To find a suitable METAFONT mode for your printer, look in c:\texmf\metafont\misc\modes.mf. Substitute the mode name for lqhires. If you have a 300dpi non-PostScript laser, you may want to print from dviwin using the supplied (optional) cx fonts. In this case the path to add is the same as that for the screen (ibmvga) fonts above with cx substituted for ibmvga. The result may be too long for dviwin - I haven't tried it. [Note: this *does* create a string that's too long for dviwin; however as noted above, you can simply change all the instances of "ibmvga" to "cx" and you get a very nice looking screen output at font resolution 300dpi and a magnification of about 5 --BJ] 4. Set Options|Missing Fonts... to Execute Command: c:\texmf\dviwin\genpk.bat $f $r $X $m (substitute the directory dviwin is in on your system for c:\texmf\dviwin) 5. Create the batch file referred to above. It should contain @echo off if %3==110 set MODE=ibmvga if %3==300 set MODE=cx if %3==360 set MODE=lqhires if %3==180 set MODE=lqlores MakeTeXPK.exe %1 %2 %3 magstep(%4) %MODE% set MODE= You may need to add or change a line to set the mode correctly for your printer. 6. Try it out! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Young, Tel. : 01223 337344 (lab) Research Student, MRAO, Cambridge. E-mail: jsy1001@mrao.cam.ac.uk
