Dear, Currently it is not easy to produce the PDF of the manual. For reference, see [1]. There are 2 issues:
a) the ’texlive’ package. b) the fonts about Russian or Chinese. About the a), it is really painful to download the *big* texlive package to be able to compile TeX. Especially when we have modular texlive packages. However, it is not clear to me which packages I have to use. Any help is welcome. :-) About the b), I am maybe overlooking but if I read correctly, it is not documented. What are the packages for the correct rendering of these both languages. With these, it becomes easy to have a manifest file and then: make pdf will work without wizard-ness. Thank you in advance. All the best, simon 1: <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/26604#6>
