            Bug ID: 310271
          Severity: normal
           Version: 0.14.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
           Summary: okular crashes when a font rather than computermodern
                    is used
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: MS Windows
          Reporter: tanrui at adsc.com.sg
          Hardware: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: DVI backend
           Product: okular

I use the windows port of KDE from http://windows.kde.org
Okular can correctly display the dvi file when the font is the default font of
latex (computer modern), but Okular crashes when other fonts (e.g., times) are
used, the error message is "Fatal error: Wrong command byte found in VF macro
list: 255   This probably means that ...." Note that I have tried two latex
distributions (miktex and texlive), the issue persists.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a latex document 'test.tex':
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{times}
\begin{document}
Test.
\end{document}

2. Compile the latex document by:
latex test.tex

3. Use okular to open 'test.dvi'

Actual Results:  
Okular crashes


Expected Results:  
A document with text "Test." displayed in Times font.

This bug is specific to the windows port of KDE.
