Hi. I just noticed that kdvi seems to be unable to show pstricks specials. I'll attach an example file. It would be great if this could be implemented sometime.

Here's the console output:
kdvi (kdegraphics): ERROR: GS did not produce output.
kdvi (kdegraphics): ERROR: The special command 'header=pstricks.pro' is not implemented.
kdvi (kdegraphics): ERROR: The special command 'header=pst-dots.pro' is not implemented.
kdvi (kdegraphics): ERROR: The special command 'header=pst-node.pro' is not implemented.

xdvi is verified to show pstricks properly. May it help?

Dear Mr. Schintgen, Gurevich, Freitag,

thank you for the bug report ---and sorry for the long time of inactivity. The issue is fixed now; KDVI supports pstricks even slightly better than xdvi because rotated text is supported in KDVI.

The bugfix did not come in time for the KDE 3.5.1 one release, but will definitively be included in KDE 3.5.2.

I thank you for your patience. Please keep reporting issues in KDVI, even if I do not always have the time to react instantly.

Best wishes,

Stefan Kebekus.
