After looking around more, I found that adding the following YAML to my markdown file seems to make the Hebrew and Greek appear when I do a Latex/Xetex --> PDF export with Pandoc. However, I can only get Everson Mono or Lucida Sans Unicode to format the Hebrew appropriately. So far, other fonts that have the Greek and Hebrew fonts (e.g., Calibri, Times New Roman, etc.) do not format the Hebrew correctly. The vowel points are off. However ... if I use the Pandoc to docx converter, it formats just fine. I am suspecting it has something to do with the Latex / Xetex exporting. Do I need something else in my YAML to handle the Hebrew better? The text of my document is usually a mix of English, Hebrew, and Greek. My YAML looks like this: --- title: Notes on ______________ author: Stuart Thiessen lang: en-US documentclass: extarticle mainfont: Everson Mono monofont: Everson Mono toc: true header-includes: - \usepackage{tcolorbox} toc-title: "Contents" fontsize: 9pt number-sections: true name: ________ --- Thanks, Stuart On Wed, Dec 21, 2022 at 3:03 PM Stuart Thiessen wrote: > I just did another test exporting to another format (.docx) and it exports > the Greek/Hebrew fine to a Word document.
