A quick question to a TeX/xdvi guru:

When I run xdvi on a test.dvi file, I get the following output.
I _do_ end up being able to view the file.  But the "cannot move"
error bugs me.  If it could move it, I assume I wouldn't have to
wait for xdvi to process the font each time, correct?

BTW, if I run it as root, I get no output, xdvi just snaps up.  Hmmm...

Thank you for your time.
