Thanks, Alvaro. Actually, what was happening was a white screen with the pages on the left showing and no wait cursor. It was as if it was displaying white on white. But the clue was in your post: my /etc/rc.config.d/tetex.rc.config was 0 length, empty. Apparently the packager of kdvi did not make it dependent on tetex, which was not installed by default. However, I installed tetex and now it works as you described: slow. Thanks again. On Friday 06 April 2001 22:35, Álvaro A. Novo wrote:

To complement my previous answer, look into /etc/rc.config.d/tetex.rc.config

## ## The automatical font generation of the TeX/LaTeX systems do ## locate the bitmap font into the directory /var/cache/fonts/. ## If CLEAR_TEXMF_FONTS is set to "yes" then this directory ## will be cleared from fonts not used in the last 20 days. ## CLEAR_TEXMF_FONTS="no"

Hope it helps,
