I liked dvisrc a lot. I've just tried xdvi, though, and it is very
nearly as good. (And it can do some sort of anti-aliasing, according
to the man page.) It's fast, too, even on my system, which is much
too slow for X, for the most part. I'm using the beta (alpha?) Xega,
and I have only 4MBytes, half on the (yuck) AT bus, with a very old 20
MHz 386 and an ATI VGA Wonder.
The only problem is that it takes forever to load, if you count
loading X11 against it....
It's a lot better than the dvivga port, although that is still in the
early stages.
