Hi Fabrice, unfortunately windvi 0.5x still ignores varfonts/$VARTEXFONTS: Although the varfonts feature is enabled in mktex.cnf, new fonts are generated in the local directory of the dvi file. Using mktex*.exe of windvi 0.47 and the very same config files, everything works as expected (i.e. new fonts are generated under $VARTEXFONTS as of texmf.cnf). Greetings, Lutz
