That's absolutly true.
Texinfo is good for browsing and for printing (I have printed the hurd

hmmmm, and the MASTER of international distrubtion too ?
I think about characters maps (like this éèâç), french people
use those things, spanish and german too.
There is somes problem with texinfo (i remember my ç probleme,
\c c don't work like with tex just beacaus \c is used for
something else), and the gnumach don't support latin1 chars,
isn't it ?
