TeXClipse should not have an effect on the resulting DVI file, since its just an TeX editing mode for Eclipse. Could you please attach a testfile that exhibits the problem. The tex file and the resulting dvi file, if possible. Greetings, Wilfried Huss Created attachment 17106 [details]

Dear Julia,
what version of the the freetype2 library do you use? I know that there are
some buggy versions around. If you don't use freetype-2.1.10, can you please
upgrade to this version and check if that solves the bug? -- Thanks.
Best,
Stefan.
Dear Stefan,
I am working on an amd64 machine with gentoo linux. When searching for
freetype with the emerge command I get:
root@yahont:/home/julia % emerge -s freetype2

I guess that means I can't upgrade to a newer version, right? When I
export my buggy DVI file to PDF, the formula is displayed and printed
correctly, so the problem is only temporary. I know that this whole
amd64 in combination with gentoo is not the best idea, but it is my
work computer and I can't change it. If you'd like me to install a
32-bit version of freetype, please send me instructions for
installation.
All the best, Julia.

Not quite. That means that you have the buggy version of freetype, and that you computer isn't aware of a newer version. However, a look at http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=freetype reveals that there is a never version (2.1.10-r2) available. Probably you want to do an "emerge sync" first. Best, Stefan. Hello Stefan,
I have now a new version of freetype2:

The problem has not been solved by this.
But I changen OS to Kubuntu, so I don't have this problem any more.
Bye, Julia.

kdvi is no longer maintained since KDE SC 4, and its functionality is replace by okular. If the issue in this report still exists in or apply to okular in KDE SC 4.10.5 or higher, please reassign the report to okular product or create a new report against okular. |
Version: 1.3.1 (using KDE 3.4.3, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8) OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 Using TexClipse 1.1.0 for writing latex documents I tried to view the corresponding dvi file with KDVI. In the tex-file I entered a formula in an equation environment like this: H(X)=-{\sum_{i}P(x_i) \log P(x_i)}. When viewing it with Xdvi, the formula is displayed correctly. However, when displaying it with KDVI, all brackets '(', ')' and the '=' are not displayed correctly. The brackets are displayed as half arrows pinting to the left. '(' is \leftharpoonup and ')' is \leftharpoondown. The '=' is displayed as a slash '/'. In case, this can be caused by non-english keyboard layouts: I have a german keyboard (transtec) and I set the keyboard layout to Generic 105-key (Intl) PC because I did not find my keyboard in the list. Id you need further information (dvi and tex file), please contact me.
