I used to be able to export our Hebrew documents to PDF using dvipdfmx. This doesn't work for me anymore, and I'm wondering if it is worth the effort to try to fix it on my system, or whether I should just drop these tests (in favor of the XeTeX and LuaTeX tests).
Does the export work for anyone? To check, you first need to uncheck "use system fonts" in document settings. If it does work, does anyone know whether this converter chain is used in practice these days? Here is my terminal output with the error: $ cd lib/examples/he && lyx Welcome.lyx This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023) (preloaded format=latex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./Welcome.tex LaTeX2e <2022-11-01> patch level 1 L3 programming layer <2023-03-30> Welcome.dvi -> Welcome.pdf [1 kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 DavidCLM-Medium.pfa mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for DavidCLM-Medium.pfa. mktexpk: perhaps DavidCLM-Medium.pfa is missing from the map file. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. dvipdfmx:warning: Could not locate a virtual/physical font for TFM "david". dvipdfmx:warning: This font is mapped to a physical font "DavidCLM-Medium.pfa". dvipdfmx:fatal: Sorry, pfa format not supported; please convert the font to pfb, e.g., with t1binary.
