Re: [help-texinfo] Changing fonts (default one doesn't support accents)

[Nicolas Maufrais]

Hello Karl,

I just tested the new texinfo.tex file with the French manual, and the
pdf was made without any error. The accented chars appear in the nodes
names, and the index is there too. Perfect!

Thank you very much for your valuable help, Karl!
With your help, we're able to get the manual available in other
languages than English. That will help a lot of Cinelerra users who do
not speak English. =)

Merry Christmas,

Nicolas.
