Perhaps xdvi is a good start point to understand how to convert dvi to raw = images. dvi isn't a ready to display format you have to prepare the missing= glyphs (fonts). Knuth has provided a converter to make dvi files human rea= dable and you task is to interpret this output.

Like ps dvi is also a virtual machine code but much simpler. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T3e07bfdf263a83c8-Ma1bb9= 71f183183e809d2ee6d Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription --16435502451.Da81adFD.623132 Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2022 08:44:05 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
