At least one problem. On certain, longer, documents, I get an error message that "TeX capacity exceeded".

downgrading to 1.0.1 "solved" the problem, so the problem is probably with one of the changes I did added into 1.0.2 .

After diffing 1.0.2 with 1.0.2, I saw that lhecmr.fd looks problematic: -------------------- --- lhecmr.fd Mon Jan 1 19:45:45 2001 +++ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/babel/hebrew/lhecmr.fd Sun Nov 19 23:17:59 2000 @@ -69,28 +69,22 @@ \DeclareFontFamily{LHE}{cmr}{\hyphenchar\font45} \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{m}{n} {<-> jerus10 }{} -%%%%%%% Font/shape undefined, therefore substituted \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{m}{sc} - {<->ssub * cmr/m/n}{} -%%%%%%% Italicized shape + {<-> jerus10 }{} + %%%%%%% Italicized shape \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{m}{it} {<-> oldjaf10 }{} -%%%%%%% Font/shape undefined, therefore substituted \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{m}{sl} - {<->ssub * cmr/m/sl}{} -%%%%%%% Bold extended series -\DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{bx}{n} + {<-> oldjaf10 }{} + \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{bx}{n} {<-> deads10 }{} -%%%%%%% Font/shape undefined, therefore substituted \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{b}{n} - {<->ssub * cmr/bx/n}{} -%%%%%%% Font/shape undefined, therefore substituted + {<-> deads10 }{} \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{bx}{sl} - {<->ssub * cmr/bx/n}{} -%%%%%%% Font/shape undefined, therefore substituted + {<-> telav10 }{} \DeclareFontShape{LHE}{cmr}{bx}{it} - {<->ssub * cmr/bx/n}{} -%% + {<-> telav10 }{} +%% %% \CharacterTable %% {Upper-case \A\B\C\D\E\F\G\H\I\J\K\L\M\N\O\P\Q\R\S\T\U\V\W\X\Y\Z %% Lower-case \a\b\c\d\e\f\g\h\i\j\k\l\m\n\o\p\q\r\s\t\u\v\w\x\y\z -------------------- (the correct one has there

I took the original heblatex tarball, and ran: 'latex hebrew.ins', and still got the same lhecmr.fdd .

Any ideas what the problem might be?

BTW: Has anybody found an existing heb* (hebalef, hebbet, etc.) symbol in some widely used package? If so, there's not much point in this change.
