Some more info on what is haunting me:
- Using sphinx 3.2.1 ; latex_engine=xelatex ; installed TeX Live
2019/Debian Full
- Translations to html all build without problems
- generating pdf fusing 'sphinxbuild -b latex -Dlanguage=XX' ; running
'make' in the html dir
- PDF to Chines (zh_CW, zh_TW) works (can't modify the topic title anymore)
- However, to PDF:
- *Korean *generates a PDF , but there seems to be a font missing (many
question mark characters)[image: Screenshot from 2020-10-31 08-43-28.png]
- *Japanese* doesn't generate a PDF
The error in the latex.log that comes first:
! LaTeX Error: This file needs format `pLaTeX2e'
but this is `LaTeX2e'.
And a lot of
Missing character: There is no リ in font
[FreeSansBoldOblique.otf]/OT:script=latn;language=dflt;!
Missing character: There is no ー in font
[FreeSansBoldOblique.otf]/OT:script=latn;language=dflt;!
Missing character: There is no ス in font
[FreeSansBoldOblique.otf]/OT:script=latn;language=dflt;!
- *Arabic* also fails latex building (no PDF generated ) at
Package polyglossia Warning: Patchingbiditablefailed! on input line 75.
! Package bidi Error: Oops! you have loaded package xcolor after bidi
package.
Please load package xcolor before bidi package, and then try to run
xelatex on
your document again.
See the bidi package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
