Hi, 

The fixes to kdvi to make it work with the recent kpathsea library
(instated of the really old one it comes with..)  turn out to be very
small - a few lines  (Thanks to Mark Davies, mark@MCS.VUW.AC.NZ )

It fixes the glibc-2.1.1 issue that has broken kdvi, and puts in 
more font substitution stuff (Truetype etc) that some people need...



I think we should get this into KDE-1.1.2.


Please could people test, using the kdegraphics-1.1.2pre-19990720.tar.bz2
snapshot from ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/...   plus the
attached patch, plus the latest  kpathsea distribution.


and I put a 220K bz2'ed tarfile kdegraphics-kpathsea-update.tar.bz2 at
ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Incoming  for your convenience.
(ignore kdegraphics-kpathsea.tar.bz2, which I uploaded earlier, its missing some
stuff).

to make the source:
(1) take the kdegraphics-1.1.2pre-19990720.tar.bz2 snapshot from 
ftp,kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots

unpack it, and delete the directories kdegraphics/kdvi/kpathsea and 
kdegraphics/kdvi/make

(2) untar the file kdegraphics-kpathsea-update.tar.bz2  which I put at
ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Incoming.  It contains  kpathsea from the latest
teTeX-1.0.6 distribution at 
ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archives/systems/unix/teTeX/1.0/sources

This puts in the new kdvi/kpathsea and kdvi/make

(3) apply the small attached patch, with Mark's fix to adjust kdvi/dviwin.cpp
to the new kpathsea.

(apply the patch last.)

Please compile and test kdvi in the usual way.


Thanks
