The attached patch add the color special into DVI backend.

Additionally it enable psfile bounding box drawing (implemented in mdvi-lib and enable when I call mdvi_register_special). I need to investigate a little more onto how fetch and draw the image on the document.

Please, feel free to comment about the patch.

Any progress, Ricardo?
Comment 10 Ricardo Markiewicz 2007-01-05 00:32:45 UTC 
Sorry for the lag, I was busy the last months.

At this moment I stuck with the background color, because I need to know the color before mdvi_dopage is called, and mdvi don't do any page preprocessing.

For the ps-images (that they are external to the DVI file), I've no idea how I'll load and store the images in memory.

The font-color special is working (I'll upload an updated path tomorrow).
