[tex-live] xdvi crashes

[Bob Tennent]

Some progress. I ran xdvi with -debug 'pk,ps,ft' and caused
a crash. The last output was

  ../../../texk/xdvik/font-open.c:1735: FT: found freetype font ptmr8r
  ../../../texk/xdvik/font-open.c:712: FT: gs_try_fopen: /usr/local/share/fonts/luxi /Fontmap: No such file or directory

  ../../../texk/xdvik/dvi-draw.c:1720: FT: Font ptmr8r is not loadable; reverting to non-scalable font
  xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: currinf.set_char_p is not a registered routine!

The document uses (among others) Times-Roman.  My updmap.cfg has 

dvipsDownloadBase35 false

If I change false to true and execute updmap, xdvi doesn't
crash after an unsuccessful search.

Hope this helps.
