[fptex] windvi and gs 6.50

[Frederic Darboux]

Hello

I am not sure it is relevant (I never really understood fonts with
LaTeX), but if you are using the distribution from TeX-live 5, they are
some bugs with the fonts (one seems related to the "8r.enc" you are
talking about).
Fixes available at <http://tug.org/texlive/bugs.html>.
