Howdy,

The most obvious thing is that you seem to be missing the jeru10  
font. I can't find it on CTAN so I have no idea where you got it  
originally. The .htm file is used by tex4ht to produce html, etc.,  
from LaTeX input.

Good Luck,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I have no idea how/if I originally got the 
font.  I might have downloaded it from somewhere, but I honestly don't 
remember and Google doesn't return any terribly useful hit.

Question remains, how would one go about typesetting a LaTeX document 
that contains Hebrew under the teTeX/gwTeX distribution?  I imagine 
that a default font is included in the distribution, and I have done a 
full install.  Could it be that something is messed up in the font 
mapping and that another font should be used rather than jerus?

Thanks for the help.  Much appreciated.  -Ben

I have no clue since I have never used them before, but somebody asked 
the list about this before.  Try looking at:

FWIW, given I know nothing about Hebrew: the documentation user.dvi =20
included in teTeX (and hence gwTeX) is a crippled one; get the true =20
thing babel.dvi (or even better babel.pdf) from CTAN, for example =20
. It contains far more details (more that you'll ever want =20
to know) on each language support.

In particular, the Hebrew section, starting at p. 328, is 68 pages =20
long. On p. 329 you'll find:

Thus it seems there are fonts, not included in the default teTeX, =20
that needs to be downloaded and installed separately. In your case, =20
the fonts that can be found for example at
. =20
This folder contains TFM metric files, the original MF code for the =20
fonts (you won't need it I suppose), their bitmap PK form (not =20
needed) and their conversion to PFB PostScript format (that's what =20
you'll want to use). The installation should proceed along the =20
standard lines for installing fonts in gwTeX, I imagine: put the font =20=

files at the appropriate places; run "sudo texhash" if needed; run =20
updmap on the appropriate .map files.

Having said what was in my previous message re. installing specific =20
fonts, I would actually recommend an alternative solution: use XeTeX. =20=

This will allow you to use the OS X Hebrew fonts (I imagine there are =20=

some) inside TeX. Though that will surely imply abandoning the ucs =20
and inputenc packages (XeTeX's philosophy is different), and might =20
imply incompatibility with some Hebrew support inside babel. XeTeX =20
has a dedicated mailing list, where you will certainly get competent =20
help on these matters.

Thanks, Aaron.

Apparently, cjhebrew uses a different key mapping than the one I use, 
but the documentation did lead me to the right direction.  I think.  
Anyway, thanks!  -Ben

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the suggestions in both posts.  I will read the 
documentation and also check if XeTeX better suits me.  The odd thing

Yes, that's the second output appearance I don't like. However, it's 
within a single enumerate environment, not multiple ones.

	1.a	4.b
			7.c
	2.d	5.e
			8.f
	3.g	6.h

I would like this to appear as

1.a 4.d 7.g
2.b 5.e 8.h
3.c 6.f

Since where they wrap varies based on what the booleans for 
ifthenelse{boolean}{}{} statements are, I cannot simply start a new 
enumerate environment and place set enumi to the appropriate number.

The other problem I mentioned appears as

1. aaaaaaa

2. bbbbbbb eeeeeeeeee
bbbbbbbbbb 6. fffffff

cccccccccc gggggggggg
cccccccccc gggggggggg

instead of the normal output of

1. aaaaaaa 5. eeeeeee
aaaaaaaaaa eeeeeeeeee
aaaaaaaaaa eeeeeeeeee
2. bbbbbbb 6. fffffff
bbbbbbbbbb ffffffffff
bbbbbbbbbb ffffffffff

cccccccccc gggggggggg

4. ddddddd gggggggggg

I almost all instances I get the second one, but sometimes I get the

It didn't work for me. After updating yhmath.map, and updmapping,
pdftex asks the yrcmex10 file to make the pk's! And it doesn't find
it!

I don't understand where the yrcmex10 came from (looking for it in
all the tetex files didn't show up anything)

Still tex -> dvi -> ps -> pdf was working. However I switched back to
the old settings.

I don't want to change to Fourier, it would change all the base
fonts: too risky.

That's simply not enough! You first have to remove and then add again. 
Try this:

updmap --nohash --disable yhmath ; updmap --nohash --enable Map=3Dyhmath

Today I've attempted for the first time to use cocoAspell seriously,

terminations and Continental accents, and HTML and TeX filtering on.

Alas: as I was entering text in a TeXShop editing window, the fans of  
my PowerBook started spinning continuously, and I realized in  
Activity Monitor that cocoAspell was using between 80 and 90 % of the  
CPU. Quitting TeXShop normally didn't work: the editing window closed  
OK, but then the preview window didn't and the pointer turned into  
the multicolor spinning icon, and the app froze and I had to force- 
quit. I terminated cocoAspell afterwards in Activity Monitor. But  
then in Mail every keystroke in an editing window repeated the same  
behaviour, and I finally had to select the OS X English dictionary  
instead.

More generally I must say I'm really unimpressed by Tiger and I  
fairly regret having installed it:

- Now that I have started reading and writing email in Tiger, I can  
no longer transfer my mailboxes to another Mac still in Jaguar or  
Tiger, should I need to work on that Mac for a few days (as will  
happen in a couple of weeks when my PowerBook will be back to  
AppleCare for AirPort card diagnostic and replacement). Or that will  
mean some conversion process that I don't have time to perform.

- There are just too many freezes (the multicolor spinning icon  
again) too often and for no reason; actually, that's generally no  
real freezes but some background process taking lots of time to  
complete (up to 5 or 10 minutes say, on a 1GHz 1MB PowerBook). Also,  
some editing operations are often taking lots of time for no reason;  
for example, pasting a small piece of plain text (two or three words)  
in a Mail editing window (I've set up plain text as the default) can  
take up to 30 seconds. I suppose this is all linked with SpotLight.

- Similarly display of the content of the TeXShop preview window is  
often very slow. That happens especially with XeTeX output, and at  
specific places: for example when reaching an equation in Lucida  
inside an Optima text flow.

- And bugs bugs bugs all over the place. Like plain text messages or  
fragments being displayed or pasted suddenly as RTF in Mail. Or the  
vertical scrollbar being displayed incorrectly on some occasions in  
Safari (two of this long blue thing -- don't know how it's called in  
English, maybe cursor -- displayed together and partly overlapping  
each other)  . Or the vertical scrollbar becoming unresponsive on  
other occasions. And that's just the few examples that come  
immediately to mind.

Rant mode off for now,

Bruno Voisin
