Texinfo 4.8 (1.34)

Since texi2pdf is just a wrapper around texi2dvi the problem lies there.
(There is neither $LANG nor $LC_ALL in both scripts.)

I guess what I wrote was misunderstandable:

I had a problem with make install (again illegal byte sequence).
As a result I had an incomplete installation.
This was fixed with LANG=C.

In the meantime I ran some test documents and discovered:

download in devpdf really needs tabs, using space as a separator does not work.
(And having a trailing space after the file name is not a good idea.)

gropdf didn't like the font descriptions I generated with afmtodit 1.19.
Regenerating them did help.

grops accepts both spaces and old font files.
