I have to write the abstract to my thesis in Hebrew
I search the entire web and tried everything that was suggested. Nothing worked. Here is my current code:
as you can see there's even no hebrew there and still i get the message (after using the command: "pdflatex file_name.tex", i don't know if that's important):
I have no idea why. I searched for the error over the web too and found no solution that helped me. Can anyone please please help me? If not I'll have use word, and i really don't want to...
Sorry my last post sounded a bit desperate. I was in the middle of trials.
After a few hours, I uninstalled WinEdt, Miktex 9 (although I had the updated versions already) and culmus and reinstalled them. And it worked. Something must have been wrong with my installation.
As to your Xelatex suggestion, Johannes_B, I cannot compile it. I get a message similar to that of mayak but with Linux Libertine.

With \usepackage{libertine}, your suggestion works.
I will use polyglossia for future (xe)latex files.
However, as a publisher that has very big latex files (using babel with several languages including Hebrew, English, French and Greek) that used to compile well, I wish I could have a solution without resorting to polyglossia.
I thought I had solved the problem by reinstalling Miktex, culmus, etc. But I ran into the exact same problem again when I tried to recompile these (not so old: max 2 or 3 years old) files.
