Hi Karl, (cc: texjp.org developers) I'd like to propose adding "dviout-util" to TeX Live. It consists of 2 tiny programs, both of which are derived from DVIOUT previewer on Windows. * dvispc: Correct the page-independence of DVI file * chkdvifont: Check fonts in DVI/TFM/JFM/FONT files Current sources are hosted at: https://github.com/texjporg/tex-jp-build/tree/dviout-util/source/texk/dviout... Some details: - 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. In the current TeX Live, only Windows users have access to those programs. (And, I guess, few people are actually aware of those useful programs.) However, they can be easily compiled on Unix C compilers. The original DVIOUT authors also agreed adding them to cross-platform TeX Live. I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thank you, Hironobu
