evince DVI support barely usable

[Kip Warner]

Binary package hint: evince

I am not sure if this is a set of bugs, or just a lack of features, but Evince appears to be severely lacking in functionality with respect to DVI, as contrasted to PDF. Some observations:

(1) It doesn't seem to be able to display the copyright symbol.
(2) The navigation tree is empty.
(3) The text layer is non-existent, so you can't select any text.

I know these are problems in Evince and not the document, since I am generating the document from texinfo source that doesn't have any of those problems when it pumps out as a PDF.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
