I'm trying to typeset a book in Lyx 1.5.1 (Kubuntu 7.10) that has both Hebrew and Vietnamese (primarily Vietnamese). The language is set to English with uft8 encoding.

I added "\usepackage[uft8x]{vietnam}" to the document preamble to get Vietnamese to display properly, and it works just fine.

Hebrew is another story. I have Googled high and low on using Hebrew with Latex and Lyx, and none of the solutions have worked for me. When I go to generate a postscript or pdf file, I get messages like:

   "Package ucs Error: Please activate option 'Combine.'"

But when I add "\usepackage[combine]{ucs}" to the preamble I get "LaTeX Error: option clash for package ucs":

   "he package ucs has already been loaded with options:
     []
   There has now been an attempt to load it with options
     [combine]
   Adding the global options:
     ,combine
   to your \documentclass declaration may fix this.
   Try typing  <return>  to proceed."

I'm not sure how to add the "combine" option in Lyx without causing the above error.

I also get "undefined control sequence" at various points:

   "The control sequence at the end of the top line
   of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
   misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
   spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
   and I'll forget about whatever was undefined."

Can anyone help me get Hebrew working in utf8 encoding?

Daniel
