Sorting out the details of the build system would be nice. I can't myself do a full build—it fails somewhere around PDF generation, possibly because I don't have all the right fonts. But it's not at all clear to me what those are or how to get them. I've never dug into it because I can generate the HTML GLs just fine. Is there documentation about the details anywhere?

If you run "make dependencies" it should list the packages that need to be installed under debian. These include msttcorefonts, and a bunch of other more exotic (but freely available) font packages, some of which have changed their names since the Makefile was last updated There is also a "make fonttest", but sfaics all this does is check to see whether you have Minion or Myriad fonts installed, and warn you that it will fall back to using yucky Computer modern roman if you don't. By default the Makefile doesn't try to build PDF, or Epub, or Mobi formats for the Guidelines, unless I am missing something. Is this something anyone would want to do when just testing their local mods? It's quite a big deal.
