More precisely: is the font you see in xdvi the one you required? or
is it cmr? If this is the case, the encoding problem is a by-product of
the fact that xdvi doesn't find the required pk's for that font. If this
is not the case, then you probably use too old pk's (or a too old
ps2pk/gsftopk/8r.enc etc)
