Details:

== Introduction ==
Hello Karl, Gavin, Eli et ali,

Sorry to be again bothering --- I hope that you're not yet fed up with me.

== Description of attachments ==
Please compare attached log0.txt and log1.txt

Both are compiling the same metafont-for-beginners-fr.texi document, but
log0.txt is using latexmk, while log1.txt is using texi2pdf.

Command line is on the 3rd line of each log file and all the other files are
in metafont-for-beginners-src-texinfo.zip., so you can try to reproduce the
problem.

== Description of problem ==
Now the problem is that tex2pdf does not get the table of content made. 

I suspect that texi2pdf is scanning for the log to find some specific string
whether or not trigger recompilation, and is bothered by the log being in
UTF-8 in the case of French (because yes, we French, among many other people,
need some accents on letters ;-P ). 

I think so because issue is specific to metafont-for-beginners-fr.texi: with
the original metafont-for-beginners.texi document in English there is no such
problem.

VBR,
   Vincent.
