actually it could be built on local vm even when it got disabled long time ago; the cause might be lack of fonts on -master, though, just a guess as no log for that time remain now; the repeated logs were completely cipher for me at the time :p early this year I tried using clean stretch, but some required packages cannot be co-installed at the time; I haven't managed to have time to play with it again :p thanks for taking care of the translations :D > When building the PDF, I get the following notes: > Character U+30B1 (ケ) not in font '[lmmono10-italic]' > Character U+30B8 (ジ) not in font '[lmmono10-italic]' > Character U+30C3 (ッ) not in font '[lmmono10-italic]' > Character U+30D1 (パ) not in font '[lmmono10-italic]' > Character U+30FC (ー) not in font '[lmmono10-italic]' > What are these characters?
