Running LaTeX in GNU Emacs, I could create a DVI file, but I could not display
it, because xdvi aborts. The system was upgraded from Leap 42.3, where those
programs worked without a problem.
Messages from xdvi are:
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Error: Aborting: no fontset found

I have 2145 texlive packages installed, I guess that should be enough to
display a DVI file. When I use pdflatex on the same file, I get a PDF file that
displays without problems, and the document contains CM (Computer Modern) fonts
only.
