#5571 closed defect (fixed)

Command \textquotedbl unavailable in encoding HE8

Reported by: ronen@… Owned by: Dov Feldstern
Priority: high Milestone: 1.6.1
Component: BiDi Support Version: 1.6.0

Description

I was testing today the SVN version of LyX 1.6.0 and 1.5.7. Due to a change in
the way the double quotation mark (”) is handled, adding it to Hebrew text
resulted in the following LaTeX error:

LaTeX Error: Command \textquotedbl unavailable in encoding HE8

This could be solved by adding the following line to your LaTeX preamble:

\let\textquotedbl="

This line will define the \textquotedb to be the double quotation mark, and the
document will compile look the same as it looked in older versions of LyX.

(I copied Guy's description here. It happened to me to With LyX 1.6.0
(Self-compiled) on Ubuntu 8.04 and full installation of TeX live)

are you sure that you have tested with 1.6svn (not 1.6.0)? I'm asking because I
attempted to fix this bug in revision 27659:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27659

straight quote should now be output as \char'" in Hebrew.

Guy tested the SVN-version (see
http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2008/10/12/latex-error-command-textquotedbl-unavailable-in-encoding-he8/
) and published his post in 12 of October.
I tested this version:
http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lyx/lyx_1.6.0.orig.tar.gz
Which seems to be the final.

I'll try to download and compile the latest svn-version later today.

The fix was committed to SVN after that date (on 2008-11-21).

LyX 1.6.0 doesn't include the fix. 1.6.1 will.

I'll try to download and compile the latest svn-version later today.

OK. Please report back.

Excellent.
I reopen and use the fixedinbranch/fixedintrunk tags instead. This is just a
placeholder until 1.6.1 is released.
