I'm trying to compile a very simple file where i just typed a word (in hebrew, english works fine) into a new document and tried to do "Export [PDF(XeTeX)]", but it just doesn't work. I get the error in the title. I've looked at the other threads with this same question but they seem to all use TeX, but I use LyX.

I've installed LyX and Culmus and all the things that should be needed but it just doesn't work. Help is very appretiated! thanks.

EDIT: Solved due to a full reinstall of everything related to tex.

  • Welcome to TeX.SE! In Lyx you can export the compiled tex code (i am not a Lyx user I do not know how;-), please show us this short compilable tex code in your question ... – Mensch May 10 '21 at 10:07
  • @Mensch my bad, that one is with weird preamble configuration that i tried (and it didnt help). this is it without any preambles: https://pastebin.com/SV8t1iNg – doximanman May 10 '21 at 10:24
  • With polyglossia, you have to define a \hebrewfont command, so polyglossia knows which font to use. Tex code e.g., \newfontface\hebrewfont{David}. (I don't have David CLM). I don't know Lyx. – Cicada May 10 '21 at 11:43
  • @Cicada So i've tried this https://pastebin.com/i5L6SzLp and now the problem is only "Missing glyphs! Missing character: there is no "" in font frank!" ( is just any hebrew letter that it sees in the text (so if i write 4 letters, this error shows up 4 times). – doximanman May 10 '21 at 12:02
  • If you want the document to automatically detect Hebrew and switch fonts, this template might work for you. – Davislor May 11 '21 at 02:29

    I’m voting to close this question because it was solved by an update as mentioned in the question. – Marijn May 12 '21 at 11:40
  • @Marijn sure, how do i close this? or is it up to the admins? – doximanman May 12 '21 at 13:36

Well I just COMPLETELY reinstalled everything related to TeX so unfortunately I lost my settings and some packages i liked but at least i can compile things normally now. thanks for all the helpers!

EDIT: I don't know why this was deleted. this IS the solution that solved my problem.
