Hi Ludovic, Thanks for reporting the issue!

Right. A known self-caused limitation by Texinfo (for reinventing TeX things itself in a way that breaks that), according to TeX people I had asked in #latex. It's probably fixable by reusing more primitives of TeX rather than re-implementing them, but I'm no TeX expert! > When running ‘guix build -f doc/build.scm’, we get hard-to-decipher > clues (thanks, TeX!): > > /gnu/store/sqi9bbxd7czxcnvhmm037yd01vykcgza-texinfo-manual-source/guix.de.texi:21958: > TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000]. I guess the above is a serious warning that may be the cause of the subsequent failures? We should try to have it fixed to see if it helps. > @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par > @endgraf > @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par > @endgraf > @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par > @endgraf > @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par > @endgraf > @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par > @endgraf > @par ->@endgraf @pretolerance =100 @let @par > @endgraf > ... > l.21958 @uref{@uref{https://webssh.huashengdun.org/, WebSSH}} > , das einen > /gnu/store/sqi9bbxd7czxcnvhmm037yd01vykcgza-texinfo-manual-source/guix.de.texi:21958: > ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! > Transcript written on guix.de.log. > [...] > Failed to produce PDF for language 'fr'! > > > I also see things like: > > Writing index file guix.fr.cp > l.527: Unicode char @u8:. not defined for Texinfo l.527: Unicode char @u8:. > not defined for Texinfo > Missing character: There is no in font cmr10! > Missing character: There is no in font cmr10! > Missing character: There is no in font cmr10! > > > > Two possible culprits I can think of: > > 1.

On this topic, Ricardo recently reminded me of > <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/33094#7>. It's possible the font error seen above was caused by 2., but note that at the time I made the change from the monolithic to minimal tex dependencies, the French and German PDFs generation was already broken (see: https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2022-06-15.log#225709). -- Thanks, Maxim
