Hi Matan,

Thanks for this information. Do you have the .lyx document (and all
dependencies) that create that PDF? If so, can you share them? It would
be very useful to have as a test document. Basically, when we make code
changes to LyX, it's good to recompile .lyx files and see if we get the
same output. We don't have many test document for Hebrew, so this would
be a valuable addition to our test suite.

Thanks,
Scott
