NAME¶

dvicopy, odvicopy - produce modified copy of DVI file

SYNOPSIS¶

dvicopy [options] [infile[.dvi] [outfile[.dvi]]]

DESCRIPTION¶

dvicopy reads a DVI file, expands any references to virtual fonts to base fonts, and writes the resulting DVI file. Thus you can use virtual fonts even if your DVI processor does not support them, by passing the documents through dvicopy first.

The odvitype program does the same job for Omega/Aleph's output, modified to support their .ofm font format.

OPTIONS¶

-magnification=NUMBER

Override existing magnification with NUMBER.

-max-pages=NUMBER

Process NUMBER pages; default one million.

-page-start=PAGE-SPEC

Start at PAGE-SPEC, for example `2' or `5.*.-2'.

The standard -help and -version options are also supported.
