Project Description

dvipng makes PNG or GIF graphics from DVI files obtained from TeX and its relatives. Its benefits include speed; it uses very fast bitmap-rendering code for DVI files. Furthermore, it does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. It supports PK, VF, PostScript Type1 (via FreeType or t1lib), and TrueType fonts (via FreeType), color specials, can render CJK fonts, and more.

This release restores interactive mode, which unfortunately was unusable
in 1.2-1.3, and resolves a few portability problems. dvipng now builds
on ULTRIX and a few other oldish systems.

1.2

This release adds GIF support if the drawing
library, libgd, is new enough to support GIF
writing. It also adds some command-line switches:
--picky, --noghostscript, --nogssafer, --gif, and
--gamma. A few portability issues have also been
taken care of, as well as a bug in the color
special support.
