   Unfortunately, xdvi doesn't support virtual fonts.  Anybody modify
   xdvi to support virtual fonts?  Any other previewers support
   virtual fonts?

Use the dvicopy program by P Breitenlohner.  It copies a dvi file
``expanding'' characters from virtual fonts to the corresponding
non-virtual font characters, movements and rules.  I have heard that
it is available as part of the web2c package.  Or get it by ftp from
here (tik.vtt.fi:~ftp/pub/tex/dvicopy.{web.Z,ch}.
