LaTeX Error: Command \textquotedbl unavailable in encoding HE8
I was testing today the SVN version of LyX 1.6.0 and 1.5.7. Due to a change in the way the double quotation mark (“) is handled, adding it to Hebrew text resulted in the following LaTeX error:
LaTeX Error: Command \textquotedbl unavailable in encoding HE8
This could be solved by adding the following line to your LaTeX preamble:
\let\textquotedbl="
This line will define the \textquotedb to be the double quotation mark, and the document will compile look the same as it looked in older versions of LyX.
Thanks, this really helped me.

Ronen: It’s a good idea, I hope they will fix it.
I wasn’t sure if I should report it or not, as LyX produces correct LaTeX code, and I was more concerned with the other bug I found that day (amsmath was automatically added, ignoring the user settings, when \iint was in the document).

The bug is already been fixed in the current SVN version
Anyway – Guy – Thanks for the work-around.
