Culmus fonts were moved from /usr/share/fonts/culmus/ to a single directory for each font family, such as /usr/share/fonts/clm-aharoni-fonts/. The spec file for tex-fonts-hebrew package was not updated accordingly, so it fails to create the tex font file, resulting in empty font files, and thus blank hebrew letters. As a workaround, use tex-fonts-hebrew from Fedora 34 or older, which you can download from here: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/tex-fonts-hebrew/0.1/34.fc34/noarch/tex-fonts-hebrew-0.1-34.fc34.noarch.rpm |
Description of problem: On a clean Fedora 35 after installing texlive, babel-hebrew, and tex-fonts-hebrew, I can't use pdflatex to render a Hebrew document. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texlive 9:2021-48.fc35 texlive-babel-hebrew 9:svn30273.2.3h-48.fc35 tex-fonts-hebrew 0.1-35.fc35 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a new Fedora 35 container: podman run -it fedora:35 2. dnf install texlive texlive-babel-hebrew tex-fonts-hebrew 3. Try to render hello.tex document listed below (this is a basic Hebrew document) using pdflatex (pdflatex hello.tex). \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} \usepackage[english,hebrew]{babel} \begin{document} שלום! \end{document} Actual results: Blank PDF Expected results: PDF with Hebrew text Additional info: On Fedora 33 this document caused an error, on Fedora 35 something changed and the error no longer appears, but the result is a bad document.
