The current teTeX is compiled against libXaw. Does it work correctly for
you with Japanese DVIs? Does a compilation against Xaw3d bring some
advantages related to the Japanese support in comparison with libXaw? I
don't speak Japanese, so I can't try it out myself.
Matsuura Takanori pointed out that Emacs also depends on Xaw3d, so a
recompilation of teTeX to link against Xaw3d would make the intended
libXaw transition, which is noted by Adam Jackson, easier.
I did a little investigation in what depends on libXaw and Xaw3d and the
results are:
libXaw.so.[67] rawhide dependencies:
groff-gxditview
isdn4k-utils
xfig
ddd
xterm
xorg-x11-resutils
xorg-x11-apps
xorg-x11-server-utils
xorg-x11-xdm
xorg-x11-xsm
xorg-x11-server
xorg-x11-utils
xorg-x11-xkb-utils
libXaw3d.so.7 rawhide dependencies:
emacs
So it looks like I'm going to rebuild teTeX with xdvi linked against
Xaw3d, because we may don't want to put Emacs to Extras, or do we? ;)
