Hebrew and the alternative between polyglossia and babel












0














I found some threads in tex.stackexchange about the possibility of writing in Hebrew with Latex (what, however, I already made with fontspec and polyglossia). The answers are an alternative: either fontspec + polyglossia or babel + utf8x. Now, referring to this problem (Xetex support for .otf features),
one finds oneself consequently in the (unlikely?) situation of using babel with fontspec. Is it possible to write very short text or single words in Hebrew in this last situation? Or are the incompatible?

  • you can use babel with xelatex/fontspec have you tried and had issues? But your question is rather unclear the font handling is the same whether you use polyglossia or babel, either way you would access fonts via fontspec.
