[XeTeX] XDV viewer

[Alastair M. Paterson]

The problem was with a font not being displayed correctly in a PDF 
viewer so I was wondering where the problem was coming from i.e. in the 
stage to the XDV part of in the XDV to PDF conversion, but that issue 
has been solved thanks to JK so viewer no longer necessary!
