Hi!
Did anybody ever tried to port texvc on Windows??
I did not, but trying to emulate it, I found no way to handle correctly the
character + in a command line
argument. This is quite annoying for math formulae!
My emulation is via a php script. The problem could be because of DOS or of
php. I tried to get some help on the windows-php forum, and the answers I
got are not conclusive: it could then be a DOS issue, in which case the
present approach for the interface between outputpage.php and texvc will be
difficult to port on Windows...
In addition, the php function escapeshellarg does not seem to be adapted to
Windows, either.
My original approach, using a file as interface, has not such problem.

Your best bet is probably to use Cygwin and their shell. They have an
rxvt-nox that works great. I have the base X11 font that I ported to
Windows on my website:

to use it with Cygwin (
