Hi,

advi cannot display dvi files created by groff properly.
They seem to be too large and overlapping.

It is displayed properly by xdvi.



$ man -Tdvi w > w.dvi

troff: warning: can't find font `M'

thanks

Ok, i confirm this, and am nowforwarding it upstream.

To the ADVI authors, i received this bug report to my advi debian
package. I confirmed this on my box, but have not the time to look more
after the bug. Maybe you have an idea of what is happening here.

Friendly,
