Antoine Bossard, Takeyuki Nagao · 2014
TEX users have long relied on the device independent le format ( DVI) to preview their documents while editing. However, innovation has been scarce in this area, and users have to rely on years-old, or even decades-old software, facing increasing compatibility issues with modern systems. In this paper, we describe ModernDvi, a new DVI viewer Windows Store application, oering high quality and fast rendering, wait-free, outperforming existing solutions in these areas. Additionally, ModernDvi has been built around today’s usability standards and expectations: tablets, touch-friendly, high-resolution output are examples of addressed issues. 1 Introduction: The DVI le format DVI is a le format, namely the \DeVice Independent le format. DVI documents are typically produced by the TEX and LATEX typesetting programmes. TEX and its high-level abstraction LATEX, which is written in the TEX macro language, were introduced by Donald E. Knuth [7] and Leslie Lamport [10], respectively, as solutions for producing high-quality documents dealing with mathematics and science in general, and especially their complex formul and notations. H
