Hello everyone, I am working on a two-sided wedding invitation (for my wedding) where one side is in English and the other side is in Amharic. I have the latex code written for the English side and I am now working on the Amharic side. I found an example tex file (attached) which I am not able to get to compile correctly. My hope is that if I can get this example to compile and produce a pdf correctly, I will be able to work from this example to create the backside of the invitation.
I am using Miktex 2.9 and Texworks editor. I have tried changing the typeset (through Texworks) to Xetex and XeLatex and I can't get it to compile. I've tried looking up information about creating pdfs in Amharic and this and other example tex files are as close as I've come but I can't get any of them to compile correctly. I would greatly appreciate it if someone out there can get this tex file to compile correctly and let me know how you do it. Here is the error I get: This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit) entering extended mode ("C:\Users\medha001\Dropbox\Kristen and Amanuel Wedding Stuff\Wedding Invitatio n\Invitation\tigrinya\test-geez.tex" LaTeX2e <2011/06/27> Babel <v3.8m> and hyphenation patterns for english, afrikaans, ancientgreek, ar abic, armenian, assamese, basque, bengali, bokmal, bulgarian, catalan, coptic, croatian, czech, danish, dutch, esperanto, estonian, farsi, finnish, french, ga lician, german, german-x-2012-05-30, greek, gujarati, hindi, hungarian, iceland ic, indonesian, interlingua, irish, italian, kannada, kurmanji, latin, latvian, lithuanian, malayalam, marathi, mongolian, mongolianlmc, monogreek, ngerman, n german-x-2012-05-30, nynorsk, oriya, panjabi, pinyin, polish, portuguese, roman ian, russian, sanskrit, serbian, slovak, slovenian, spanish, swedish, swissgerm an, tamil, telugu, turkish, turkmen, ukenglish, ukrainian, uppersorbian, usengl ishmax, welsh, loaded.
