From 74f94424b0605a94eecf0ca175acb1b36117decf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfgang Dautermann Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2022 10:40:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Document how to build the PDF documentation (for Japanese and Russian). One needs to use xetex instead of pdftex, e.g. call make pdf PDFTEX=xetex to build PDFs. I assume, luatex should also work, but there maybe the texinfo installation on my computer (Ubuntu 20.04) has in issue, I get error messages like: /usr/share/texmf/tex/texinfo/txi-ru.tex:24: String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence.
