Hi Ludo,

>> * doc/guix.texi (console-font-service-type): Add it.
>                   ^
> This should be the name of the section this is added in.

>> +@deffn {Scheme Procedure} console-font-service-type @var{tty-font-pairs}
>
> This should be @defvr because it’s a variable, not a procedure (and thus
> has no arguments).

Done and done, thanks again!
