After taking a closer look at the displayed image, it seems that it's
not a truely b&w one, but the characters are drawn a little greyish.
(But this is the default behaviour, isn't it?)

#'xdvi -fg black' Gives the reverse video characters.
#'xdvi -fg gray10' Gives me outline (!) characters (which they shouldn't be).

After reading the man pages again, and trying some more options, I found
that all above problems are solved if I 'xdvi -nogrey'.
However, another option, '-thorough' made 'xdvi -thorough -fg red' act
just as bad as plain 'xdvi' without '-nogrey'
BTW. On a Sun4 displayed, 'xdvi -thorough -fg red' also does not produce
the correct image: it has black characters instead of red ones, unless I
zoom/Shrink1.

#'xdvi -fg white' Results in a Segmentation fault.

This still happens, even on a Sun4, no matter what I try.
It appears that xdvi always produces a "Segmentation fault" if the
foreground (-fg) and background (-bg) colour are one and the same.
