View the dvi files in what? converted to ps first, or via advi/kdvi?
If you look in 'ghostscript' options in gv, what do you find for the
antialias device? I presume that under gv options, anti alias is still
selected. Here's what my three ps programs give me:
gv -dNOPLATFONTS -sDEVICE=x11alpha
ggv -dNOPLATFONTS -sDEVICE=x11alpha
kghostview -sDEVICE=x11 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2 \
-dMaxBitmap=10000000
-sDEVICE is still a legal option; x11 and x11alpha are both listed as
available devices with --help... here are my package versions:
ii gs-gpl 8.01-2 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript...
ii gv 3.5.8-31 A PostScript and PDF viewer for X...
ii gnome-gv 2.4.1-2 GNOME PostScript viewer...
ii kghostview 3.2.2-1 PostScript viewer for KDE...

Most likely.

No clue here...

In what way does it fail?
