Writing hebrew with MikTeX2.9 gives error: Font LHE/cmr/m/n12=jerus10 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM)...












0















I need to write thesis abstract in Hebrew, but I get compilation errors of the kind:



Font LHE/cmr/m/n12=jerus10 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found 


I use MikTeX2.9 and TeXnicCenter.



Here is a MWE:



documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[english,hebrew]{babel}
usepackage{culmus}
usepackage{setspace}
setlengthheadheight{15pt}
usepackage[a4paper,width=150mm,top=25mm,bottom=25mm,bindingoffset=6mm]{geometry}
pagenumbering{gobble}

begin{document}
doublespacing

begin{center}
Huge
textbf{תקציר}
end{center}

ניסוי ותהייה, או ניסוי וטעיה?

end{document}


I have seen other posts of people which encountered the same problem, but haven't found a solution to the problem.



I have downloaded and installed Hebrew Culmus fonts for MikTeX from this site: http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~sameti/tex/culmusmiktex.html



But I still get the same errors.



What can be done ??

          I advise you not to use pdflatex and culmus. It has many problems and there is no one with the knowledge, the will and the time to sort them out. Better switch to lualatex or xelatex. E.g. this here then works fine:



          documentclass[12pt]{article}
          usepackage[english,bidi=basic]{babel} %bidi=default with xelatex
          babelprovide[import,main]{hebrew}

          babelfont{rm}[Language=Default]{Latin Modern Roman}
          babelfont[hebrew]{rm}{DejaVu Sans}

          begin{document}

          begin{center}

          • I copied your example. When I tried to compile it with XeLateX I got 1 error: 'The bidi method 'basic' is available only in luatex'. And when I used LuaTeX I got 14 errors mainly of the type: 'String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence'. What can cause that ??

          • Well the comment behind the babel says that xelatex needs a different option. And regarding the encoding: ensure that your file is utf8 encoded.

          • But how can I fix the xelatex problem- What does it mean that xelatex needs a different option, and how can I make this different option step by step ? And regarding the luatex: How can I ensure a utf8 encoding?

          • Replace bidi=basic by bidi=default when using xelatex. I can't tell you how to store in utf8 as it depends on the editor (you will need utf8 in any case, with culmus, with xelatex and lualatex, so better find out how to do it).

          • I replaced bidi=default instead of bidi=basic, and indeed I didn't get any error, but in the pdf generated I got question marks instead of the Hebrew letters. Maybe the 1 warning that I got explains the reason for that: 'Package fontspec Warning: Language 'Hebrew' not available for font 'DejaVu Sans' with script 'Hebrew'. 'Default' language used instead.'. Now, how can I fix that ??

          I copied your example. When I tried to compile it with XeLateX I got 1 error: 'The bidi method 'basic' is available only in luatex'. And when I used LuaTeX I got 14 errors mainly of the type: 'String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence'. What can cause that ??

          Well the comment behind the babel says that xelatex needs a different option. And regarding the encoding: ensure that your file is utf8 encoded.

          But how can I fix the xelatex problem- What does it mean that xelatex needs a different option, and how can I make this different option step by step ? And regarding the luatex: How can I ensure a utf8 encoding?

          Replace bidi=basic by bidi=default when using xelatex. I can't tell you how to store in utf8 as it depends on the editor (you will need utf8 in any case, with culmus, with xelatex and lualatex, so better find out how to do it).

          I replaced bidi=default instead of bidi=basic, and indeed I didn't get any error, but in the pdf generated I got question marks instead of the Hebrew letters. Maybe the 1 warning that I got explains the reason for that: 'Package fontspec Warning: Language 'Hebrew' not available for font 'DejaVu Sans' with script 'Hebrew'. 'Default' language used instead.'. Now, how can I fix that ??
