Writing hebrew with MikTeX2.9 gives error: Font LHE/cmr/m/n12=jerus10 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found

Question

I need to write thesis abstract in Hebrew, but I get compilation errors of the kind:

Font LHE/cmr/m/n12=jerus10 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found 

I use MikTeX2.9 and TeXnicCenter.

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[english,hebrew]{babel}
\usepackage{culmus}
\usepackage{setspace}
\setlength\headheight{15pt}
\usepackage[a4paper,width=150mm,top=25mm,bottom=25mm,bindingoffset=6mm]{geometry}
\pagenumbering{gobble}

\begin{document}
\doublespacing

\begin{center}
\Huge
\textbf{תקציר}
\end{center}

ניסוי ותהייה, או ניסוי וטעיה?

\end{document}

I have seen other posts of people which encountered the same problem, but haven't found a solution to the problem.

I have downloaded and installed Hebrew Culmus fonts for MikTeX from this site: http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~sameti/tex/culmusmiktex.html

But I still get the same errors.

What can be done ??

Answer 1

I advise you not to use pdflatex and culmus. It has many problems and there is no one with the knowledge, the will and the time to sort them out. Better switch to lualatex or xelatex. E.g. this here then works fine:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[english,bidi=basic]{babel} %bidi=default with xelatex
\babelprovide[import,main]{hebrew}

\babelfont{rm}[Language=Default]{Latin Modern Roman}
\babelfont[hebrew]{rm}{DejaVu Sans}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\Huge
\textbf{תקציר}
\end{center}

ניסוי ותהייה, או ניסוי וטעיה?

\selectlanguage{english} some text 

\end{document}
