Comment 13 for bug 580794

Hmmm...

I seem to have missed a lot here.

My current working copy is quite behind the curve, yes.

I did make numerous changes to make sure bidi was loaded first, but the
error keeps cropping back up.

Sorry I haven't been in touch, exams. Will take a look in a fortnight and do
a mini code review. Of what's in svn, and report back with suggestions and
possible patches for whatever state the code is in by then.

Also have some updates to bst that I've been meaning to merge for a while,
implementing some more sbl examples (they need tidying up though).

On that, it would be helpful if we had some standardised way to refer to
things in the bib file that are non-standard for tex, but necessary for sbl
compliance. I'll leave it to you, dave to decide what to do on that? If
you want me to make some suggestions I could draft a blueprint.

Thanks, David, for the help. I'm still trying to figure out the setup on
my comp, but I think it's starting to make some sense. When I tried the
minimal file you asked, it did the same error concerning the jerus10
font. I was not able to find it in ivritex either. But I did find this
somewhere on the net and it did work:

% ---begin here---
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\TeXXeTstate=1
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{bidi}
\defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase}
\setmainfont{Hoefler Text}
\newfontfamily{\sbl}[Script=Hebrew]{SBLHebrew}
\begin{document}

\setRL
{\sbl
‏‏בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֨הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ

}
\setLR
\end{document}
% ---end here---

I don't know if that would help but it's my hope that it would in some
way. I'll experiment on getting the files you uploaded to work, unless
someone can give me some brief instructions about how to set that up.
