Hi, Last night I committed a new package dviout-util containing the following programs, both of which are derived from DVIOUT previewer on Windows. (r48839--r48848) (Thanks Karl for useful suggestions in private communication.) > * dvispc: Correct the page-independence of DVI file > * chkdvifont: Check fonts in DVI/TFM/JFM/FONT files Brief summary: > - A DVI file with \special's (color, annotation etc.) is not always > page-independent; in that case, "dviselect" or "dvidvi" fails > to preserve such \special's. The program "dvispc" corrects the > DVI file to be page-independent. > - "chkdvifont" (originally named "chkfont") prints what fonts > appear in a DVI file, and also tells information about individual > TFM, VF, etc. Travis CI tests passed, but please let me know if you have any problems. I hope these programs will be available on TL2019. Best regards, Hironobu Yamashita

(You > have the correct info in the README, which is where it belongs.) OK, I adjusted COPYING. I also added a little more detailed information to README. > Also, is the dviout svn repository on tug.org still the active one, or > has it moved? Just wondering.

I guess the current dviout binary is up-to-date enough, as its sources are unchanged. Those I've changed are some accompanying tiny utilities, which are not so essential for the main program dviout.exe as a DVI previewer. So, there should be no need for building/uploading the whole package. That said, of course, dviout-util is a subset of the dviout package, so I will keep sync the dviout svn with dviout-util. I may rebuild/update the whole package when it is really needed. I will commit to TeX Live svn after a few more tests. Best regards, Hironobu

角藤先生，山下です。お返事ありがとうございます。 (1) > TeX Live win32 にある dviout 配下のdvispc, chkfontは，隠れた > 場所にあるので誰も使ったことが無いと思います。従ってどちらでも > よいと思いますが，重複しない方がベターでしょうから > tlpkg/dviout の chkfont.[exe,txt], dvispc.[exe,txt], > dvispce.txt は消してもよいと思います。その場合，files.txt > からも該当行を削除したほうがよいでしょう。誰も見ないと思いますが... ありがとうございます。2019年になりましたらそのように致します。 (2) allow5c > これはあまり使ってほしくないもので，TeX Live に入れる予定は > ありません。ファイル名はアスキー文字にしてほしいというのが > 本音です。承知しました。それでは dvispc，chkdvifont だけを置く方向で進めます。 ---- 山下弘展 (Hironobu Yamashita) e-mail: h.y.acetaminophen(a)gmail.com
