I'm french-speaking so I write my TeX documents with the T1 fontenc package which allows to type the french accents such as "é" or "ô" directly, no need of commands like "\' e" or so.
The problem is that sometimes I need to write some hebrew in some of my works, but the arabtex package causes trouble when it is used with the T1 fontenc : the .pdf document begins with some weird characters and when I change the position of the \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} line in order to put it after the \usepackage{arabtex} and {hebtex}, the characters dissapear but the space they were occupying is still there, so there is a gap between the top of the sheet and the beginning of the text. Here's the main part of my preambule and a pdf as an example of the characters.
Any idea ? I really don't want to have to type "\' e" everytime I need a "é"
Thanx in advance !\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\usepackage{hebtex}
