Hi Jean Francois!

thank you for your reply.
In Ubuntu 19.10 repos there is only sphinx 1.8.5 so I had to install 
manually, something I am not very familiar with.
So i followed some instructions at your website.
I had to figure out that i needed to install pip3 (i already had pip and 
pip2 in my system) so that sphinx 2.2.1 could be installed.
At the end of the installation, i got a reminder that some scripts 
(sphinx-build and sphinx-quickstart) were located in my home folder/.../../
sphinx-builder --version would return 1.8.5 
but /homefolder/.../sphinx-builder --version would return 2.2.1

So i made a new quistart in a directory  with the scipt from my home folder.
At this point I am not sure whether sphinc-quickstart script is using the 
2.2.1 version or the 1.8.5 (it probably has to do with some environmental 
variables i guess ... )
Hopefully it used the 2.2.1 version of sphinx.

Then i copied my rst files into this new directory and tried building the 
pdf.
At the beginning it would complain for a number of things, that had to do 
with conf.py - master-doc = contents.rst for example
I tried using a plain conf.py, as you suggested, but it wouldn't work.
So i started adding stuff into my conf.py:
at some point it worked and it would produce some pdf.
Since i had no setting for the language in the preamble section the pdf 
output file would not be ok (I guess this is what you would like to know)
Then i added also the language stuff, Bjournstroup template + fonts 
And I got some result, but it would be the same as previously, meaning:
to my view some letters are according to configuration (correct font) but 
most of the letters are using some default font .


To sum up:
i have the doubt whether sphinx 2.2.1 is used during the above procedure - 
i AM using the correct scritpt for a quickstart but does it use the correct 
version of sphinx ? that i do not know 
If sphinx version is correct during the build procedure, I do not see much 
difference to previous build.

I could try a few suggestions and help improve sphinx if  you like - since 
I am also interested in a correct project output (pdf)
