With an input file ixin.texi that has the (incorrect) line 545: @fonttextsize 42
and env var ‘LANG’ having the value ‘it_IT.UTF-8’, the command: $ /tmp/a/b/c/bin/makeinfo -o ixin.xml --xml --no-split ixin.texi > BAD-$LANG 2>&1 produces the file BAD-it_IT.UTF-8, attached here:
BAD-it_IT.UTF-8
Description: Binary data
which looks funny and is incorrect -- i don't know what the "proper"
quotes (around 42) should be, but certainly the first part of the
message should read something like:
Solo @fonttextsize "10" o "11" è supportata
^
(The indicated word/character is U+E8, LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE.)
In contrast, the output when env var ‘LANG’ has value ‘C’ is:
BAD-C
Description: Binary data
NB: I also tried both of the above commands w/ dir /tmp/a/b/c/bin appearing in env var ‘PATH’. It doesn't change anything. Is this a bug? -- Thien-Thi Nguyen .....................................
