Package: texinfo
Version: 6.5.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal

I've reported the folowing bug upstream:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2017-11/msg00019.html

However, I'm not sure of the right package, since if the issue comes
from the texinfo.tex file, then this may also be a bug in automake,
which provides this file via "automake --add-missing".

When @var is used in exponent with the raw formatter command, I get an
error in the PDF generation:

@tex$2^{@var{foo}}$@end tex

yields errors like

../../../.././mpfr.texi:2219: \scriptfont 5 is undefined (character f).
l.2219 @tex$2^{@var{foo}}$
                          @end tex
../../../.././mpfr.texi:2219: \scriptfont 5 is undefined (character o).
l.2219 @tex$2^{@var{foo}}$
                          @end tex
../../../.././mpfr.texi:2219: \scriptfont 5 is undefined (character o).
l.2219 @tex$2^{@var{foo}}$
                          @end tex

The use of @var is important to get the correct typography
(slanted instead of italic, with kerning).

I'm using texinfo 6.5 under Debian. The texinfo.tex version is:

\def\texinfoversion{2013-02-01.11}

which seems to be the version installed by automake (same file as
/usr/share/automake-1.15/texinfo.tex).
