I use XV once in a while, but on my 5K monitor it's a real struggle to
read the text.  I took a look at the source, everything is placed by
pixel.  It didn't look easy to fix.

xv is an ancient program. I am not surprised that it wasnt written
with today's resolutions and screen sizes in mind.

The reason why it is not in the Linux distros is that it isnt free
(neither as in beer, not as in speech). The cited wikipedia entry
doesnt mention a license change, so I am not sure WHY it EVER was in
"most Linux distros".
