Re: Can't thank Benoît!

Hi Akim,

    address@hidden Perrot: makeinfo fails, 

Please explain "makeinfo fails".  I get i^ in regular output, and that's
the best it can do.  If I use --enable-encoding, I get \356 (I'm typing
that as \,3,5,6 but I mean the i-circumflex character at octal 356, of
course), which I suspect is what you are looking for.

    makehtml passes for weird reasons
    since it outputs @samp{Benoît}, 

What's weird about î ?  Ilsn't that exactly i-circumflex?  And isn't
that the best thing to output?

    TeX is ugly (accent + dot),

Indeed.  Giving you what you asked for ...

    address@hidden@dotless{i}}t Perrot, makeinfo fails, makehtml fails, TeX is 
OK

This is the one that should work.

Same story as above for makeinfo.

makeinfo --html's failure to use î or \356 is a bug.  kama, I
wonder if you'd be able to work on this?  I'd appreciate it.  (You can
get Akim's original mail out of the archive if you need it, but it boils
down to the above.)

    Benoît Perrot: makeinfo passes, makehtml passes thanks to Latin 1, TeX
    is broken (missing character).

Another aspect of the TeX font problem, no fix in sight :(.
