Hi guix,
I struggled with the console-font-service-type for a long time (mostly
becase setfont does not state you can specify a path). Documenting it
in the info pages would have helped.
Thanks!
John

This should be the name of the section this is added in.
> +@deffn {Scheme Procedure} console-font-service-type @var{tty-font-pairs}
This should be @defvr because it’s a variable, not a procedure (and thus
has no arguments).
Could you change that accordingly? You can take inspiration from other
service types.
TIA!
Ludo’.

Hi again,
I just realized I should also change "Scheme Procudure" to "Scheme
Variable".
Thanks again,
John

Hi again,
Dang it I forgot to change the @end to @end defvr.
This fixes it.

Changed to quasiquote/unquote as needed (same in gnu/services/base.scm,
which had the same typo), and \" → ".
