This brings me grief on Windows, because there aren't that many texinfo binary distributions out there for Windows. makeinfo 4.8, which is very stable, does not grok UTF-8: makeinfo --force --enable-encoding -I. emacs.texi emacs.texi:33: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'. and makeinfo 4.13a (the current one at GnuWin32) is buggy as hell and just crashes.

Oh dear. The suggestion came from an MS Windows user, BTW. http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3501 Most messages are pointless until http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3501#70 Yes, of course, we should now use utf-8 for that Texinfo file and pass --enable-encoding to makeinfo. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Apparently, there are dissenting opinions. Count mine, too, unless a suitable binary tarball for Windows can be found somewhere... Juanma ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

No, I use the same v4.8 you do, so it doesn't work for me either. I think we should just revert this change, because it will cause grief to TeX as well, AFAIK. It is a well known (and unfortunate) fact that Texinfo doesn't lend itself well to i18n. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
