Xdvi isn't finding the pixel files, which are the pk or gf files. If
all of the pixel files are in one directory, and have names like
cmr10.300pk, then setting XDVIFONTS to the name of the directory should
work. Otherwise, you need to set XDVIFONTS to a filename template, using
%f in place of the font name, %d in place of resolution, and %p in place
of the pixel file type ("pk" or "gf"). For example, if the pixel file
for cmr10 is in
/usr/local/lib/tex/pk/dpi300/cmr10.pk
then you need
setenv XDVIFONTS /usr/local/lib/tex/pk/dpi%d/%f.%p
Find out what works, then change DEFAULT_FONT_PATH in the Makefile and
build xdvi again, so you don't have to worry about the environment
variable.
