alpha.pdf for alpha.tex file in original bug report
This is the same problem for me (kdvi 1.4), but it seems not to be kdvi specific. In xdvi, the alpha looks the same. I suspect, dvi cannot handle that scalebox command of the graphics package. The results of this package will only show up in ps and pdf correctly. I am not sure. the same problem occurs with \resizebox and the problem is that scalebox an resizebox are both implemented via \special-commands. Why i need this: resizingwith xfig. Alternative is trying scale until it fits for every change (which is indeed annoying). kdvi is no longer maintained since KDE SC 4, and its functionality is replace by okular.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: 1.4 (using KDE 3.5.4, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.4-0ubuntu2~dapper1 ) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-26-686 When the source file alpha.tex below \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \usepackage{graphics} % \begin{document} The first \scalebox{10}{$\alpha$} should be ten times larger than this $\alpha$. \end{document} was run through latex, dvips and pdflatex, both the .ps and .pdf files display the first alpha correctly scaled. The .dvi file shows both alphas at the same size but leaves a blank space after the first alpha as if recognizing its size. I will attach the apha.dvi, alpha.ps.gz and alpha.pdf files separately.
