RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vitezslav Humpa 2012-07-26 14:27:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Empathy fails loading any of the DVI documents I've tried. It doesn't crash, merely doesn't open the document. This is a sample terminal output at the time of opening:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-dvi-3.4.0-2.el7.x86_64
evince-3.4.0-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run evince
2. Open some DVI file
  
Actual results:
Nothing happens, evince stays running without any document and produces the aforementioned output.

Expected results:
Dvi file loads as expected
Comment 1 Vitezslav Humpa 2012-07-26 15:05:51 UTC 
Sorry, should be 'evince' on the first line of c#0.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2012-10-17 21:03:27 UTC 
Do you have the necessary Computer Modern fonts installed ?
What does rpm -q texlive say ?
evince-dvi only pulls in the libraries that it needs, not the whole humongous texlive. But without fonts, the documents won't display...
Comment 3 Vitezslav Humpa 2012-10-18 13:22:16 UTC 
Indeed, installed texlive-texmf-fonts and dvi loads fine now. Just installing evince-dvi without texlive, the situation is the same. Perhaps evince-dvi package should depend on these fonts?
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2012-10-18 17:10:32 UTC 
perhaps, but

rpm -q --qf "%{SIZE}\n" texlive-texmf-fonts
112642974

not small
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2012-11-03 02:20:33 UTC 
given that evince-dvi is a subpackage, we should just add the required dependency to make it work.
Comment 6 Marek Kašík 2012-11-06 11:48:14 UTC 
I'll add the dependency to f18 and will merge it into rhel7 as soon as the new texlive will be correctly built in rhel7 (texlive 2012).
Comment 8 Marek Kašík 2012-11-14 16:01:11 UTC 
I've added the dependency to evince-dvi package.
Comment 9 Michael Boisvert 2013-12-04 16:22:57 UTC 
I tested opening a sample dvi file, and it worked correctly without installing any extra packages. evince-dvi was included during the install process of RHEL7 meaning the dependency was added correctly. 

Verified.
