Hi Ricardo, Thank you for looking at this.

Working on fixing this –– at least the French one ;-) –– I notice that: guix environment -C --ad-hoc texinfo -- texi2dvi --help raises an error about ’sed’ is missing. Adding ’sed’, it still raises an error about ’cat’ (coreutils, right?). These 2 dependencies should be added as ’propagated-inputs’, right? Well, back to the real issue. I do not know if the issue comes from TeX configuration or from ’makeinfo’. For example, --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- mkdir -p /tmp/test && cd /tmp/test cp ~/guix/doc/{guix.fr,os-*,fdl-1.3,contributing.fr,version-fr}.texi . cp -R ~/guix/doc/images images cp ~/guix/doc/environment-gdb.scm . cp ~/guix/doc/package-hello.{scm,json} . guix environment guix -C \ --ad-hoc texlive-base texlive-fonts-ec texlive-epsf texlive-tex-texinfo \ -- makeinfo --pdf guix.fr.texi --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- lead to incorrect Table of Contents but the rest is good (at least what I checked). It seems as ’makeinfo’ incorrectly deal with the unicode in the master menu. On the other hand, guix environment guix -C --ad-hoc texlive -- makeinfo --pdf guix.fr.pdf works correctly. Hum? I do not know… All the best, simon
