[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi, the guix info pages display fine when viewed with the normal info
command, but when viewed with emacs (C-h i m Guix) there is strange
issue where text between forward and backquote symbols shows up as hex
numbers. See section 6.2 for a representative example. I get the same
result if I run `emacs -q'. I've attached some screenshots which
hopefully make it through the filters.

I can not reproduce this.
I think there might be something wrong with your theme or fonts or so.

Can you please try with `emacs -Q` ?
(-q still loads x-resources etc...)

I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours.

Hi, thank you, but problem is gone now. I can't quite recall, but I
think it went away after I ran fc-cache -f -v.
