[tex-k] zoom problem in xdvi

[tmlam]

Hi Stefan,

Ghostscript is 8.64. I suppose the option -gsapha is to be used with gs. 
However, gs is invoked by xdvi. How can we pass the option to gs through 
xdvi?

In fact, you are right about the anti-aliasing. There is an option 
button in xdvi that allow turning PS anti-aliasing on/off. By turn it to 
on, and then off, the figures can be displayed normally after zooming. 
Very strange.

I don't know how to switch postscript on/off. What keystroke we need to 
press? I assume it is for xdvi.

Many thanks for you ideas.

Regards,

TM Lam
