Hi Guy (and list users),
Iviritex doesn't seem to make a difference. Neither does specifying
fontencoding or fontfamily.
Strangely, I stumbled on an almost complete solution which doesn't seem to
make any sense to me.
Keeping everything else on the default settings, if I add
\errorcontextlines=10
to my preamble and use utf8x encoding in the language settings, the errors
go away and I can output pointed Hebrew.
The only irritant is that the location of the vowels is not very good.
Any comments why errorcontextlines makes a difference?
TIA
Nigel
As I understand the command, it simply instructs latex to output more lines
when an error occurs. I can't figure out how it removes the combine errors.
