Same thing happens, and no error messages are displayed. Also, if
instead of using command line I open kdvi from the KDE start menu -->
graphics --> KDVI, it works. What it seems is that it only works from
inside some GUI.
When I click help -> kdvi the window that appears has the title "About
the kdvi plugin", which seems to hint that it should only be "a plugin"
to something else, and not a standalone. However, it used to work
standalone for me in RH8!
By the way, I agree that, for some reason, it doesn't seem to find the
fonts.
