Hi:

I am trying to use xdvi on my VT1200 to preview dvi files created on our
microvax.  It works great expect when it encounters a file with one of the
AP-Tex font from Kinch Computers.  I bought the whole set from Kinch about two
years ago and they work fine on our ln03+ & ln06 with dvi2ln3.  We don't have
PostScript at this site.

When xdvi comes across a file with the one of this font set, it gives the
following error message:


xdvi: File psmhvno lacks preamble command


I have followed up with Dr. Kinch and he tells me the font set did not come
from metafont but could not offer any other help.

I get a similar message when I use dvi2vdu:

Loading font data from tex_disk:[tex.fonts.][360]psmhlv.pk
Bad pre command in tex_disk:[tex.fonts.][360]psmhlv.pk

Can anybody offer a possible solution to this problem?  We like the AP-Tex
fonts but would really like some sort of screen previewer on the VAX. Right now
the only driver we have that works on them beside lntex is tty. Not the best
solution.

Thanks.
