Description r young 2007-05-17 21:45:12 UTC

Version:           1.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:                Linux

The same problem was reported as 89013 (kdvi does not display slanted text (from latex \sl))
and stated "RESOLVED", but the problem does still exist.

Use the same example of 89013 or even simply, do

tex testfont
Name of the font to test = ptmro
\table\bye

Then view testfont.dvi using xdvi and kdvi. Kdvi displays slanted fonts
as upright.

kdvi is no longer maintained since KDE SC 4, and its functionality is replace by okular.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.
